I have recently purchased the Shun Fuji 8 1/2" chefs knife and had to return the first owing to a warp in the metal near the tip of the blade.
My replacement has arrived and it is warp free but the narrow polished portion of the blade, (between the Damascus pattern and the cutting edge) is uneven on either side of the knife.
On one side it is about .5cm all the way down on the other side it is less than half that and towards the tip of the blade the Damascus pattern actually runs onto the cutting edge.
I'm no Damascus expert and just wanted to check if anybody knew if this is a quality issue?
