Cold Steel Voyager Kris - strange crack in blade

[FloridaDreams]

I’ve received 2 Voyager Kris XL (I don’t think they make it in another size) and they both have the exact same crack or line in the blade in the same place. The crack is visible on both sides of the blade and extends from the top edge, to the middle where the thickness is wides - right in the bottom of the first wave from the tip of the knife. It’s hard to see in certain light and I can’t figure out what it is. I’ve examined photos of other Kris’s online and I can’t detect it in other blades. Any thoughts?

At least the lock won't fail.
But, this is the "Traditional Knives" forum.
You might be much better served in the "General" forum.

Post this in the cold steel subsection, along with pictures, and maybe we can help.

My Kris Voyager has the same exact mark. I'm not sure what it is, but they all have it and it's a non issue.
