Ouch, that doesn't look good, it's definitely a chip. Not sure why it happened, but contact SY and they'll take care of it.

My DMCG experienced the same thing, but a lot smaller (like your tiny chip). I was doing some yard work in the back yard and hit steel or rock. It's so small it'd eventually sharpen out, but it's definitely a chip, not a roll.
