    new 629 - scuff

    This is my first ever NIB stainless weapon so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I have a bit of a small scuff that you can see in the photo. Depending on the lighting or angle it is more or less noticeable. Is perfection expecting too much? Is there any way to work this out without...
