Hey guys!
My 93 year old great grandfather still carries his little knife daily as he putters in his wood/metal-working shop. We got talking knives a few years ago and I (finally) realized that the knife he has EDCed all these years was a blue-greenish stag case peanut. I have since had my eye on one... and, as of this morning, I too now have a Case peanut in red bone CV. (I will see if I can get some images attached)
Anyway, so far I LOVE my new knife except one thing:
The tip of the clip blade has a small warp in the metal that bends towards the right (if looking from the spine). The tip rubs on the brass and also pokes out a bit. I worry about it catching on threads in my pocket.
(See images)
Do you guys have any quick fixes to kinda somewhat straighten a bent/warped blade? (I have tried gently using a vise)
I don’t want to get too crazy with this project (ie drilling out brass and dismantling the knife).
All suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance too!!

Here are some extra pics in case anyone was interested
