Ok first....did you temper the other blade? in your first post you had said you hadn't tempered it...That's not good UNLESS your putting it into liquid nitrogen it should be tempered as soon as possible it can cause some micro stress fractures in the blade ad then it can crack when used...I even heard of a knife cracking it self while sitting on the counter and I think that was d2 (ray correct me if I am wrong about the steel type) either way

see I ONLY profile my blades before heat treating less chance of a warp and easier to grind out... I would anneal and fix it and then go back and heat treat after you get it straight deffinitly don't try to bend it as is you have a good chance of snaping it in half.
