Gap in Peen?

[u/NameUser1000]

I recently received this Type 18c sword by Swordier and noticed that there’s a gap in the peen. It’s mostly on the one side but the other side has a slight gap too.

Should I be worried about this? It’s wide enough to fit a exacto blade through the gap. I’ll contact Swordier and see what they say but is this a normal amount of gap?

My favourite audio nerd subreddit is r/sounding, what do you mean?

If by some chance you're not joking, I'm going to let you continue in your innocence. My life was definitely better before I knew.
