is it just the camera angle, or was that 118 built with a more upswept blade to handle angle than usual?

it could be the angle. Here is a shot of 440C variations; the one line on the left, followed by a two line, a tip-down three line, and finally an early tip-up (all four spacer knives). There is blade width variation until you get into the mid to late 1970’s, that could effect the up-sweep. OH
