Does the blade section curve up or is it flat to the handle?

It has a very very slight, but necessary, curve. You can use it to push or scoop - or facing down to stir and push. I love this tool. Cleans well, doesn't scratch, super useful and a beautiful work of wood art. I highly recommend. If you want a photo of the "curve," post or send your email.

It has a slight slope up and then down again as you go towards the back. It starts at 18 inches at the front and curves up to 18 1/2 almost immediately and then back down to 18 again at the back. I bought two and love them.

It is firm right up to the hole. The hole itself is flexible. The handle does not bend much, maybe a little as it gets thinner towards the blade.

It has a 3" tanto shaped blade. The base of the blade is thick at the base, that includes the thumb hole. It appears to be one of the most reliable blades I have encountered in a folding knife. I reordered several of them. I also ordered the standard blade shape thumb hole remix, but I prefer the tanto. After using the tanto for several years I feel it is the most practical blade design. I use it in applications I never used a standard blade for during the previous decades :)

I cannot speak for the functionality of the curved blade, though I personally find that this knife works well for boning just about any type of meat, and it even makes a decent fillet knife. I highly recommend the Fibrox handle though.

The handle is curved just slightly and is great for getting those spots that are difficut to reach, like between and below the shoulder blades. It could honestly be a tad more curved, with the head flattened slightly as well after the curve, but this beauty does an excellent job none the less! There's no such thing as perfection, but this gets reeeeaal close.

Have you had any problems with the curved handle? Does it feel any different compared to the typical straight handles?

It's slightly curved, but the blade is short. It is like almost every cutter I've ever seen.Ken

The blade is in a shape like this \/ , not like this l/ If that is what you are asking, if you are asking if it is a double edge, no, the blade just runs up one side. The base is flat on both sides and in its same shape (minus the cord wrap).

The arm does stay up but the blade has enough slack adjustment (with the black nob on the back) to let you easily change the blade. After I figured it out it takes me less than 30 seconds to change.

I just studied mine to be sure. If anything there is a very slight upward bend. Very slight. It feels very secure in my hand and is easy to walk with. When you are pressing on the handle as you walk that slight upward bend gives me more stability because the end of the grip could move down a bit with the pressure you apply as you walk.

Handle is flat with a rounded bottom. Nice weight to the pieces. Knives have a bit more roundness in the handle -- they are easy to grip. I am small person with small hands and really like the feel of this cutlery. Also, FYI, the steak knives are really nice -- cut well.

It has several notches that click to adjust the back -maybe 5 or so? It does go completely flat or straight up and in between. You do have to fold it all the way forward first and then back up to adjust the angle/slant.

There is distal taper on the blade but it is more pronounced on the bottom (edge side) then on the top. This allows the blade to maintain its rigidity to the tip.

Yes the blade does have a slight curve to it. I was new to paddling last summer, when I bought it, and it was very easy and comfortable to use. The length adjusts about 3 inches which turns out to be enough so my wife and I can use it comfortably. The carbon fiber makes it very light and strong. This is a great paddle for the price. I highly recommend it.

Only the blade side.. i think the handle is plastic but has really good balance. Worth it
