Just received one today. The blade has a bow. Anyone else have one of these? If so, is your blade straight?
 
Yup, mine came with a little warp. It's not so pronounced that it won't fit into the sheath, but it's certainly there. I kept it because I bought it as a user and the price wasn't too high. So far it has not effected its usefulness.
 
Got one today,has slight warp, and i hate that handle i knew that curved handle would suck ! sending it back i do not like this knife at all......

The handle is too small and too curved.

Correct on both points. Paracord wrap and cutting off the despised upper guard makes it much mo bettah! This is the I think now discontinued 6.75" blade version of the DF Bowie.

What i dont like is that the curve in the handle keeps the back of your palm away from it,its like its hanging in your fingers,and the curve of the rear of the guard gets in your way too .
