how to straighten out a warped blade?

Here is what I use. A small arbor press and adapter. The top piece of rounded brass is setup to attach to the ram the bottom piece has some taper in the flats ground the meet the plat giving the setup some taper to match the bevel a bit. You can slide the bottom around to cause more force where you want it. I also stick stuff under the blade to act as a limit for how much I can press. I set it up near my tempering oven and work the blade while at highest tempering temp. Use it on Made it after snaping a D2 blade. D2 is not forgiving.
