I just got a 240 Gyuto in the Nashiji line direct from the Fujiwara Teruyasu website. It arrived today, and while I was expecting the handle/ scale issues I'd read about. The spine of the knife is horrendous. It appears the knife is ground from a stainless/w1/stainless sandwich and the w1 core is exposed In a really uneven way, I took a pic, it's not the best quality, but I think it illustrates the issue pretty well.

I'm worried it may lead to delamination.
Also the factory bevel on the right side of the knife is very uneven. Does this suggest the grind is also uneven?

I knew I was ordering a rustic knife, but is it unreasonable to expect an even grind? and what are your opinions on the spine?
Has anyone ever returned a knife to a Japanese manufacturer?
Thanks for your time, I appreciate any insight/ advice
Cheers
