2/17    I have a Henckels forged paring knife and a while back I accidentaly
        bent the last 1" of blade about 5 degrees while cutting some frozen
        food.  Do you think a professional knife sharpener could fix this?  The
        cutting edge itself is fine (except for the slight bend).
        \_ Sounds to me like you damaged your knife while using it for
           something it wasn't meant for.  You can always try to get it
           replaced or repaired, but don't be too offended if you get
           turned down.  Henckels paring knife is what, $30-40?
           \_ I know I can get another one, but this one works fine so I can't
              justify throwing it away.  It'd just be nice to have it
              'good as new'.
        \_ Henckels are expensive but can't you just get a replacement
           knife (not the entire set) just by itself?
           \_ Certainly, but that's ~$45.
           \_ Certainly, but that's $35.
        \_ I don't see why not.  Pliers -> bend, then fix whatever bits were
           marred in the process.
           \_ Or just wrapped it in a towel, then bend.
        \_ doesn't henckels knives come with lifetime warranty?
           \_ Yes, but would this sort of damage be covered?
