You may have read in another post that I'm trying to sharpen my Snow & Nealley Penobscott kindling axe. I just noticed something VERY disturbing and I'm turning the question to all of you to tell me how big an issue this is:

I held my axe up to the light to see how the left and right bevels were coming up (so one wasn't more ground down than the other) and I realized that the head actually isn't straight...nor is the handle. If I align the edge with the light, the square striking part of the head is at an angle and the handle is at an even bigger angle, where the tip of the handle is way off to the right. If I align the edge with the tip of the handle I can see the cheek of the blade clear as day.

To me this is all wrong (especially considering the horrible handle grain)...but maybe not? They have a lifetime warranty...should I be actioning that or should I return them to Cabela's while I can and keep looking
