What I see bothers me because the edge curves up toward the toe about half the blade length. It also looks uneven wear at the spin in the corresponding location.

I had thought of that but the wear marks would be somewhat symmetrical side to side not asymmetrical as they are.

Being a wedge, I find that warping to be highly unlikely, not impossible just unlikely. Lay it on a known flat surface and check to see if light appears between the spine and surface. Do this for...

I can't tell from the new pictures. Have you placed it on a known flat surface to check for a bent spine. From what I can see, it may be time for a re grind to a 1/4 hollow to get those work areas...

It does appear to be a wedge but then I would think that warping would not be an issue, but a bent spine isn't out of the question. Do you have shots of the top (spine), bottom (edge) and end of the...

From the hone marks on the spine it appears to have a bow in it, the blade it's self could also be warped.
