Flem,
It's actually a Grizzly branded blade.  1/2 the cost of the TW.  I can tell not as much time went into the Grizzly blade and it just looks rougher, but for the price and the results I don't really care. 
I can say the TW is scary sharp.  Much sharper than the Grizzly.  I cut myself a couple times handling it.  I'm not sure what the deal is with this TW blade.  It aggressively grabs the wood and starts pulling it at a sharp angle.  I had trouble cutting in a straight line without the fence.  It was cutting at such an angle that I'm pretty sure my fence wouldn't adjust that far.  Even if it could, I have no interest in cutting at a 20-30 degree angle to my table.  That's just ridiculous to me.

Sound like when you forget to sharpen both sides of a Chainsaw chain. Pulls something fierce to one side!

I don’t know about forgetting to do one side completely.  But I’ve seen guys try to hand file and end up with a different angles on each side. This will also cause the curved cut.

What Flem said, good chance one side is either dull or you got into some glass or something that could have dulled it. Any kind of saw like that if one side is dull it wont cut straight for nothing
