Dont heat the tip, you will very quickly destroy the temper and will effect a much bigger area of the blade than just the tip. Bend gently back as others have suggested with blocks or just pushing the tip on a hard surface. Will need to go slightly past straight to reverse the bend. Can be...

Yeah they are great cases. Have had no issues since using them and the peace of mind is worth the extra expense
