My 3 knives came in today.
After reading many of your comments, I pulled them all out and checked for a straight blade...
Alas, all 3 have the same bend to the right, at least 1/8". Dang it.
They are all reasonably sharp, but not shaving sharp. 2 of the handles look great and the 3rd has a dull finish that doesn't show the layers nicely like the others. I will have to keep that one, I guess, since the others are gifts.
Not sure what to do about the bent blades at this point. I will keep an eye out for any replies to our comments from Jonas.
I, too, would have liked to see the steel composition stamped on the blade...
Update 7/15:
Used one of them last night prepping dinner and was very pleased with how it performed.
It was a pleasure to thinly slice onions and other veggies for grilling. I used the steel on it and soon realized how poorly sharpened my Henkel 4-star chef has become...maybe a combination of the thinner and sharper blade...handled really well.
The "bend" did not seem to effect how it worked at all. The blade isn't bent, just not completely parallel to the handle.
All in all, worked great and I will keep using it to see how it holds up.
