One of the catalog images shows a curved version (also noted in the additional
notes). I have never come across this version, which is unfortunate because I
think it's more interesting than the normal straight blade. How common is
it? Does anyone have one another color, not just DBG?

I thought it was bent at first, but if that was the case, it wouldn't (or
shouldn't) be in the catalog. Bending in that direction is very unlikely;
it would bend sideways much more easily than the way in the picture. Also, when
pieces bend, the stressed area turns white. I suppose it could have been heated
up and bent, maybe that would prevent any white from forming. It looks like the
number is the same 2530.

It looks like a QC issue to me.

So it got warped as it cooled or something? In that case, it shouldn't be
in the catalog. I assumed whoever added this in the notes knew it as an established
variant... Might as well add short shots and other defects to the catalog at
that point
