Sounds not entirely unlike something I saw a smith do here in Japan. He fixed a twist in a mono-steel blade by, I kid you not, hammering into it at a diagonal with a carbide-tipped chisel. It forged the twisted edge back to straight. I've seen this sort of thing on laminated blades, but this was a first for hardened mono-steel.

I understand and will be trying it tomorrow! I only have a bead blaster so we will see. It does however have an aggressive media.
It is simple. Similar to method 2 it increases surface area that bends blade to opposite direction and this results to straighten blade. I can't describe it better, sorry.
