Is this picture better? ...
It certainly shows the dip / bulge better :yikes: Would I be correct in guessing that the affected bit is about 1cm long and 1mm in?
Personally I expect to work grinds to suit my own preference(s), but that's a heck of a lot to shift by hand straight off the bat and from new.
As Duncan said, how does it cut and does the dip / bulge affect the cutting action?
... and yes I have contacted maker and supplier but not heard back yet, ...
Give them time, the maker's got a good reputation
...btw you could be right. It looks like a piece of the edge is missing
Poorly described by myself
. It does look more like a very slight pause when the knife was ground. Quite easily fixed, but the primary questions you need to address are do you want to and should you have to?
Like I said, give the maker some time to get back to you ~ and chase if need be (
Some makers like making but their comms can be 'a bit pants').
