I have a Spyderco Sage 1 and was sharpening with my sharpmaker and smacked the blade off of the rod. Now my knife has some small and one large surface scratch! If this happened on my tenacious I wouldn't have cared but not my baby! . Also I E-Mailed Spyderco asking them what they reccommend and am waiting for a reply. If any of you could help it would be appreciated! Thanks

Scratches are a part of using a knife. If you're afraid of getting scratches on your knife, close it and put it back in its box and never use it again.
 
I agree with Darkstar. Scratching a knife is just part of the deal. If you use a knife it will get banged up. I like the way a knife looks after it has some "beauty marks" on it. They give the knife some character.

Depending how deep they are, Flitz might not remove them anyway. If it doesn't remove them, the Flitz will highlight the still-smooth steel on the rest of the blade, and the scratches will stand out like sore thumbs (all the more so).

I'm in agreement with the rest here. Just use the knife. You've got the difficult part out of the way now, by making it truly your own. The first blemish can be a little traumatic, but you'll enjoy the knife all the more, now that you're free of those worries and can find new ways to really use it.

If the scratches do bother you that much, you could still sand the blade overall, to even up the finish. But I wouldn't likely worry about that myself.
 
One way to look at it.
When you edc a blade the chance is high it will pick up a scratch like that one day, if not from a sharpening mistake then from bumping it from normal use

Things like that give a knife character as said above
