I'm just wary of changing the 'shape' of the knife?
While the overall shape of the blade may change, the important part - the edge profile - will remain the same if you grind the spine. If you want, you may grind more of the spine, gradually tapering it as you go, to make the change in the spine less abrupt. It's a lot more work, though.

Just grind it out like the picture out on a cement sidewalk or curb then polish the spine with sandpaper.

haha I love this! I may have to try it for my chip...Just grind it out like the picture out on a cement sidewalk or curb then polish the spine with sandpaper.
see and this is my problem with mine, I Have to use crappy plastic NSF cutting boards at work and the boards catch the sharp thin blade from my japanese carbon blade. I just know that when I do Fix it, it will just happen again.Not hard to do at all! Go for it. A diamond plate would be best for this, and the side of a coarse stone is good too, and sandpaper is a good, cheap idea, which I'd lay flat and just rub the spine along with the blade sticking up (would want to avoid the tip getting caught and tearing the paper of course). I've not yet tried doing this on the sidewalk outside, but it might entertain the neighbours.
If you're hesitant to go too far on the spine, then you could just do some of this and leave a portion of the chip, then just be patient as through use and future thinning/sharpening that the chip disappears over time, unless you're like me and will probably end up chipping it again.
ahhhh! you solved it! thanks for saying that, I just realized that's what caused it.How do you cut? Push-cuts / pull-cuts? Or rock chop?
