Thread: New Dovo Razor chipped - pix - advice?

The knick is not very deep (very difficult to capture in pictures) and is completely bizarre since the knife was not dropped or bumped into anything. Does this look like something that could be honed out? Thanks!

Those are some long deep striations. What were you honing it with?

+1. That's not the factory finish.

Is it possible that the blade has hit the scales when closing? I made a similar chip in one of my first razors with careless closing.
