Very slight knick on the end of this prop. Can I still fly it?

Technically you can, it'll just be unbalanced. There might be more damage to the prop that you can't see though, it's best just to throw it out. Props are cheap :)

I'm keeping a collection. That's the second in 2 days on my new ft edge. I'm predicting there will be a few more 😂 thanks.

Props are cheap, planes aren't as cheap. Id you choose to fly it, cut down the other end and sand it smooth, then rebalance it.

I like to get all the goodie out of them, I'd fly it. I also don't wind them to the moon either so ymmv...

Sand it smooth and then sand the other side and balance it and away you go. I have some 8" props that started off as a 10" .
