Straightening flat stock

Hi guys,

I have some Nitro V that i have just profiled a blade out of. Its pre heat tretment and has a bit of a bend in.

Is there any info on adjusting this with n effective method? I dont want to make it worse!

Thanks

Place it with the confex way upwards on two blocks and press it down with a glue clamp

For me the easier way to do it is just to hammer it cold on a block of wood. It doesn't take much force at all.

Just set it on a board with a dowel or a shim under one end. Use a rubber or wooden mallet to pound it straight.
