Not to question you COOL AIR, but I believe that is an optical illusion. If you are holding the two slabs of micarta together off camera to the left, this is how it would appear. The bottom of the lower slab is horizontal. The top of the upper slab is not. If you look at the picture closely, you can see the top line of the upper slab is higher on the right than it is on the left. The weight of the handle would cause this appearance.
Can you post a picture of the of the spine in the handle in the closed position?
Cool Air,
That blade defiantly should not have left the factory in that condition. If you decide to send please send it to my attention I would like a chance to find out what caused the warpage. We will replace the knife with a new one.
