Not noticeable at a glance and is consistent with rustic look of the knife.

Solid construction for a lifetime of use. I expect you’ll be pleased, especially at this price. I inspect these, take my own photos and measurements, add my own description. Recommended. Some minor flaws consistent with being handmade are possible but really part of the rustic look. I only tell you this in case you're expecting to get a shiny factory manufactured knife. These are rugged. These are real. And sharp! I’m a collector, a re-enactor and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group and Renaissance Fairs so I get lots of feedback.

The dull back allows the wielder to use one of more fingers to concentrate force as well as making the knife strong. The curving front edge concentrates force of a smaller area, making cutting easier. A normal blade profile can chop as well as pick and slice. This is also the best single-edge blade for thrusting as the edge cuts a swath that the entire width of the knife can pass through without the spine having to push aside any material on it’s path, as happens with a sheepsfoot or drop-point knife.
