American Tomahawk LaGana--bad grind

I received my Lagana Tactical hawk in the mail two days ago. My first impression was that it was light and agile in the hand and that the grip was surprisingly good. I was suprised, however, to see that the grind on the primary edge was really uneven.

When I say uneven, I don't mean a millimeter variance. I mean that, at its deepest point on either side (1/3 of the way up the edge on one side and right at the top on the other) it is twice as wide/deep (depending on how you want to describe it) as it is at the narrowest point. I know that there will be variation, but this is to a degree that I feel like the edge needs to be reground. I might be expecting too much, but for a hawk that costs over a hundred bucks, I expect a better grind than I would get on a Wal-Mart hatchet.

Has anyone else had this experience? Or do I have the one piece that made it through QC without getting caught?
 
Mine was off by just a lttle bit. I assume because it was hand ground without jigs or clamps. It wasnt enough to bother me and its performance has been top notch, If you are unsatisfied then ATC/Andy will make it right. I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service....+10 all the way those guys.
 
I havent had any problems, but I agree with Anrkst69763 contact who you purchased it from and have it replaced or redone..
 
Can you post a picture of the hawk and the supposed 'bad grind'???

I could then show you what mine looks like...
 
I have a Sog and the grid is good a little work, but the handle had to find a better handle.
 
Mine came with some kind of half ass super thick convex grind that cut like crap. Spent about 20 minutes with a file and changed it to a more acute flat grind. I can actually sharpen it with a stone instead of a strop now and it cuts VERY well.
