Can't see the picture..
How did you do that?
Looks like you probably banged it on something hard. Bone? Counter? Frozen items? Could have been a weak spot in the metal, but my guess is you hit something pretty hard to take a chunk out like that. Definitely will need some sharpening time to clean it up. The only time I have seen something like that is when they first came out and a guy was trying to bang through bones with it and was upset when chunks chipped off. I haven't had any issues at all with my ZK. If you got it at a store like SLT here in the states, you could potentially get a replacement.
It is strange. Doesn't look like your classic chip. This is more a chunk off one side of one edge. Other side of the edge is OK
If it's left, will it bigger?
One more
Looks more "rolled" than "chipped" in the closeup. Is it on both sides or just one side?
Though can't completely tell from the pictures. If it is rolled seems like the steel is more on the softer/durable side than harder/delicate side.
just sharpen normally IMO untill you get past it. You could lower your angle, then micro bevel, to keep your geometry but if this is brand new it could wait.
This is what I was thinking, didn't want to do anything to it till running it past you guys. Just don't want that area getting worse. I may take it down slightly on a ~400, what do you reckon
I wouldn't go after it with a coarse stone unless it interfered with cutting...I'd suggest just sharpening normally and it will disappear in no time.

looks like an overgrind. did you have it sharpened by someone else?
