Head Gaskets

Hello, i'm looking for some input on a head gasket for a 1993 4runner. Upon replacing a head gasket, I happened to knick the brand new head gasket during installation, and it's more of a deep indentation in the gasket. It is right next to the seal around the piston. My question is, can I still use this one, or do I have to purchase a new one? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...
