Thread: My Bergischer Lowe was ground crooked!

I've had this for over a couple of months now and just noticed that the toe was ground crooked! This normal? Below are the worst cell phone camera shots ever but I won't have my real camera available for over a week and I couldn't wait... It's the very toe/end of the blade where it's ground from the spine to the edge. If you look straight on at the blade it is the cross section. There's an "apex" where the curve out from the spine changes to a curve in to form the spanish point. That apex/line is crooked. Looks like it should have gone straight across the widest part of the spine. Less noticeable (can't see it in the pics at all) is that the flat is not square with the length of the blade. It's like if you were going to cross section the blade and you leaned to the left a bit while you were doing it.

Is this typical?... The gold wash on the very end is kind of rough/not very well done either. Sort of like they just dabbed at it one time and got a spot on there.

The first pic is from the side and shows where the "apex" is. it's a very well defined line/edge on the end of the blade. The second pic is straight on and you can see that the line/edge is not straight across/level.

[Edit] Tried my scanner just for kicks. It's a lot better (didn't think it would work with the cover wide open. and no, the blade is not all beat up. dust/dirt on the glass and oil on the blade)
