Well, there you have it!

Glad you are happy with the result. I have often wondered why the notches are often 'off kilter', but never sought to correct them because I figured the maker knew more than me...so leave their work as is (as others have mentioned, we cannot all agree on the purpose of the notch, so I take a step further and ask, "how could I say it is crooked?")

No matter, it's yours, and if you are happier, you did the right thing in my opinion.
