Recently I ordered 2 bulldog brindle bone baby trappers for 9$ each ( for me and my dad ) and the one I got today has a warped clip blade ( other than that it's razor sharp, has zero play, has a strong back spring, and a great halfstop ) and my dads has a very tiny bit of play in the sort blade. So I don't want to return it and potentially get a major lemon. It really is a beautiful little knife and ( other than the warped blade ) someone would probably think it costed 40$+ if you showed it to them. So do you guys know how I could straighten a blade that likely warped during heat treatment ? ( currently I have it clamped with a few little pieces of wood ( bending it in the opposite direction ) but I don't know if it will work or how long I might have to leave it clamped for to fix it if possible. ( I also have an old old timer 33OT with a bent sheep's foot I'd like to fix , so at the least fixing the bulldog would be good practice ) any help would be appreciated:thumbup:
