I am new to knives. I am not sure if I found something wrong with the tip of my blade or if I am making it up.

Photos added below. take a look.

I have a brand new orange Para 2. I was running my finger along the edge, and on the front side, at the very tip I feel something. It is very tiny, but I can still feel a little something there. It is only evident on the one, front side. When looking at it you can see a little protrusion but only when looking very closely. It feels like on the one side there is a teeny peice of extra steel or something. Hard to see with the naked eye, and could only use my iPad to take a photo so if someone needs to see it I can shoot them an email.

I am wondering if this is normal, or something I should take care of? Something I should send in, or a quick fix at home.

Seems very minor, but definitely is bothering me. Also don't want to have to send my brand new knife back just yet.

Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.

You might be feeling a small burr maybe?
 
looking at the picture its really not a problem i think you should worry about. once you use it and sharpen it you will be fine

Most likely a burr as mentioned above. Quite common and nothing to be worried about. Use a fine stone very gently and it should come right off.
 
I see a difference in the size of the edge bevel there.

So it may feel sharper on one side than the other.

Like mentioned above, it could be a burr too.

I agree that it's most likely just a slight burr. The photos are taken from two different levels, so of course the size of the edge bevel is going to look different between the two photos.
