I just received a 210mm deba from a well respected maker that I own other double bevel knives from. The tip is lifted slightly from the spine on the ura side, pictures attached.
I emailed pictures and got a prompt response:
Yes, our single bevel knives are made like your picture. This is not only
for your knife. All our knives have the slight curve.
We think the blade center should be the edge.
You will understand it after using and sharpening on your stone.
This seems at odds with the knowledge I have of single bevel sharpening. To hit the tip during uraoshi I would have to lift the handle, and that doesn't seem right.
Opinions?
