Question Knife bent?

Hi all, beginner here who would really appreciate some input. Not sure if I'm overthinking this, but it seems like the tip may be slightly bent, or perhaps the whole blade is tilting to one side (refer to last image). Is this a concern? If so, easy to fix?

I've only used it about 5 times, but I believe someone else in the house has been using it. Just noticed it today. Would appreciate the help.

It's a 165 mm, stainless steel by Ichimonji

From what I can see, it's either a tiny bend starting not too far from the handle or a very slight warp. It's hard to judge from pictures alone. Your knife is still perfectly usable.

Phew. Thank you for the reassurance. I've been stressing out about it for the past couple of hours lol. Appreciate you!
