As was pointed out the fit here is off, and what I seem to be seeing could be just a optical illusion. But with this dagger there is something in an area that would not be affected by shrinkage that seems that it may be out of place. Normally the contact areas of the grip have a convex curve that matches the crossguard. From the image here it seems that the center portion of the grip is possibly flattened - leaving a pair of wedge shaped overhangs at either end?? FP
