I'll give it a wiggle on my bendy stick. It's a gradual consistent curve so should be fixable.
Current condition. Lovely patina. Haven't tested the edge yet.

Bendy stick helped the curve but I didn't want to push it beyond my skills since it's not sanmai. Got some good sessions in with it. Will write up my thoughts with some pics later.
Updating the list. @Stevem627 asked to be bumped down one so I will be sending it to @Heckel7302 next.

Gonna be some rambling here. This is a fun knife. I love the look with the grind marks. I don't think the bend affects the performance at all. Develops a lovely blue and purple patina. A bit too heavy and blade forward for my liking, but I suspected that going in. I tend to prefer lasers. Handle was comfortable and easy to grip.
Edge needs sharpening but I mostly wanted to test geometry. It performed OK on carrots, with some wedging in the bigger pieces. When just using the tip it worked much better. Nice distal taper on it. I'd buy a lighter, thinner version of it for sure.
Shipping to Heckel on Friday.

Knife arrived yesterday in good condition.
Initial impressions, I like it a lot. Nice forward balance. Edge was sharp, but slipping on tomatoes so gave it a quick touch up on Gesshin 4k. Will give some more thoughts after I’ve used it a bit more.

Knife is on its way to @Stevem627
Thanks again to @Gshep91 for casting this lovely gyuto out for us knife freaks to lay our grubby mitts on. It’s a lovely knife. Quite forward balanced, which I like. Feels very nimble for a 240. I actually thought it was a 210 before I looked it up again. I prepped a few meals with it and it handled everything great. Maybe a little wedgy on dense product, but nothing extreme. All in all a super solid blade. It convinced me to send a message to Messerschmied Huber to see if he could make something special just for me.
