Just received mine, and while they feel good in the hand, 5 of them are distinctly warped and curve to one side. You can see the how big the difference can be in the top photo. In the 2nd photo it's the 5 on the left, all curving to the left. Will email sales@kentwang.com to see if they can help out, since the straight ones feel great.
tommysSorry, that shouldn't have happened. Email us at sales@kentwang.com and we'll send you replacements. We stand behind all our products.
Sorry we didn't see your comment until now. Massdrop doesn't have a way to notify us of comments, and we've asked them to implement such a feature.
tommysYou can straighten wood by bracing it and steaming it. Then you allow it to dry it a warm dry place hanging upright with the brace in place. You will need to go slow with ebony because of the grain density.
This works for most wood, but if you are getting a replacement it's probably not worth the effort.
