The as forged Chainpuri and Hanuman blades I got had the edge bevel but were not sharpened. Both had about a 1/32" flat that had to be sharpened.
The blades were forged with flat edge bevels so they can be formed and sharpened to one's particular taste. The chainpuri that I finished into something different has a mostly flat edge bevel with a full convex edge. To say the least it is a fierce chopper for its weight and size!
I don't recall what I paid for them, but the best I can recall I think it was about a third of the regular price.
I'm still thinking everyone should at least buy an as forged blade whether one finishes it or not.
The as forged blades really give you a more complete insight to the kami's art.
