I would have asked for a replacement PAX.
Ask Thomas Flinn-Garlick to try it out before posting it to you.
They should do the ‘banging of the back’. You just use it, and eventually sharpen it.
Paul has a lot of experience straightening saws and plane irons. He makes it look straightforward. I wouldn’t be confident doing it. I’d only attempt it on old restorations, not on a new, expensive, quality saw.
Or buy the LN you’d previously considered.
Again, ask them to test it. It should have been checked.
