While i agree that more photos would confirm or deny my suspicion, i'm not sure what photo you are looking at that could lead you to believe there is a concave/convex construction here.

Well, the side shown doesn't show any sign of a bevel and the etched surface may still be slightly concave from what I seem to fathom. While this is not final proof, I'm pretty convinced that the other side will exhibit a convex surface with pronounced bevel.

Jef, could you please post a pic of the other side of this blade?

Regards,
Kai
