I have been reading tis forum for a while and finally signed up. After reading this I got a knife kit and started on it but I accidently hit the blade edge with the sander bit on my drill. Is the blade ruined or can it be sharpened back. It is not a deep spot, but it did take the sharp edge off. Thanks.

Definitely not ruined.
Depending on how deep it is will determine how much work will go into fixing it. You'll have to rework the edge to make the blemish dissappear, be it on a regular wetstone, or a Lansky or EdgePro type of device. Hard to really say how to fix it without seeing what is the matter though.

You can always re-grind, re-sharpen, or re-shape to get the spot out, as long as there will be enough blade left for a knife after you do all of the above.
I've made a bunch of small knives out of large knives for the exact same reason.

Thanks for the tips. It does not look too bad so p will probably try to resharpen it. I was worried about the tempering, cryo treating.

If when you made the 'spot' you didn't get it hot, your heat treat will still be good. I know hot is a relative word.

I don't think it could have gotten hot, it was kind of a glancing hit.
