I hit a hidden pebble under my ball this past weekend that left a decent gouge in my 8 iron. It won't affect play at all, but these are the first set of irons I purchased new and are less than a year old. I want to keep them looking as good as new for as long as possible.

I get that equipment can be expensive and players wanting to protect their investment and such. But, I also look at my nicked and dinged irons as being sufficiently broken-in.
