The strain of use bends the edge slightly, if you regularly groom your knife you will straighten this crease. If you don't do this, it folds more easily and simply as the impact will be greater with a folded edge.
Aligning the edge is also the last thing you do after sharpening, precisely to get a completely straight line in your cutting edge.
