Dalman disaster - bend tip, how do I fix it?

[Knivperson]

Just moved to a new house so temporarily my knives are in a drawer in edge guards instead of on the wall. Today I took out my @RDalman honyaki and about 1 cm of the tip was sticking out of the edge guard and was apparently stuck in the gap between the backside of the drawer and the bottom of the drawer. I didn't see and lifted it and bend the tip ..

Can this be fixed and can I do it myself or should I send it to somebody? Im in Denmark.

I tried bending it back applying pressure sideways on the chopping board but it doesnt really help and Im afraid of snapping it.

Break out the angle grinder and make a nakiri. Or recycle as metal scrap.

The man himself said it. That’s got new profile written all over it

 

[RDalman]

I offered to fix it as good as possible by pm, of course. I was teasing

Must be something in the air in denmark, recently fixed a big chip from there also

Only thing wrong with the air in denmark is the overwhelming amount of drunk swedes poluting it

Must be all the excitement around the Tour du France starting in Denmark this year.

Would you mind sharing how you're going to proceed?

I will straighten it, and if that doesn't work out or fully I will grind out and reprofile as necessary.
