Strange tip profile on a ZT0452CF?

[uvalaw2005]

Just received this ZT0452CF and wondering if anyone has a seen a tip profile like this on a ZT before? All the photos I can find online seem to show the grind extending all the way to the tip, but that's not the case on this one. Thanks in advance as a ZT newbie, knife was advertised as like new and unsharpened so I am a little confused.

It looks like they didn't sharpen it all the way out.

From the pictures only, it looks to me like someone sharpened the knife.

The factory grind goes to the tip, the later sharpening does not.

If you bought the knife to use, you could just sharpen it all the way to tip to make it more consistent.

If you bought it as a collector and someone sold it saying it had not been sharpened you might want to return it to the seller.

Good luck.

Looks like someone microbeveled it, but not all the way to the tip.

I'd be sending that puppy back. Even if something is advertised as NIB it shouldn't come defective, which that edge/tip certainly is. That said, if a return is too much of a hassle you could easily sharpen it out.
