    A bend in the blade, like a warp? Or are you talking about a ding, nick or chip?

    the hardened steel would shatter on impact before it bends so it's eithther you're talking about chipped edge, or a crack. in the first case you probably still have a razor in the second case you don't.

    I agree with Gugi but I will say that I once bought a 7/8 Solingen listed on ebay with a poor photo. It was an obscure brand and I can't remember the maker but when I received it I found that in the center of the blade for about an eighth of an inch from the bottom of the bevel the blade had a belly in it. A bend as it were.

    I think it must have been poorly heat treated or tempered because it should have broken rather than bent but there it was. I returned it to the seller and got my ten bucks back but had to eat the shipping. There was no fixing something like that IMO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
