Where exactly did you nick the blade? The cutting edge, the spine, the ricasso? How badly is it nicked? I ask these questions because I've managed to make a few mistakes on the knives I've made to date. Some can be polished away, some can't. It all adds up to semi-custom hand-made knives.

Well, I'll tell you what, I had to magnify your image to see it. That sort of "nick" reminds me of the early 70's, looking at a new in the box S&W Model 27 Custom 5". There were tool marks on the frame where the cylinder crane closed up and locked. I mentioned this to the S&W rep. His response? Send it the the S&W Performance Center, or whatever it was called at that time, and for another $300.00 or so, they'll polish it out.
Wash it with acetone, let it dry and give it a lick with some Cold Blue, or the browning agent (see Brownell's) we used on muzzle loaders.
Nice work!
