I am ordering a custom made knife for my husband. The maker has been keeping me up to date with the progress. After drilling then grinding down he realized he drilled some holes too deep. He is still using this piece to form the knife even with the small dips in metal where he drilled too deep. Will these dips compromise the knife to the extent I should ask him to start over? I haven't paid yet but we are talking about a $130 knife here. The last Damascus I bought him cost half as much with no flaws. Should I ask for the price to be lowered?

Would the holes compromise the knife in anyway or are they just cosmetic issues? Obviously I am not a knife maker just curious so that I can know what to do next. If it's simply cosmetic then I will ask for a reduction in price but if the strength and longevity of the knife are compromised then I will ask him to start over.
