I'd appreciate honest feedback both on how abrasions like this could have appeared during manufacture, and whether I'm being too picky by expecting that a new blade not have visible imperfections like this.

I wonder if that happened with some sort of clamp as the result of being held in place for etching on the tang....I am assuming they grind and polish prior to laser etching their logos...the blade certainly needs to be held steady for that operation. Just a random thought after contemplating it for a bit....
