That's all it took to break it cleanly in half. It is no longer a problem. It
went to the recycle bin.

This is definately NOT what I was wanting to hear. However, I will learn 
from your experience and avoid smacking it as you did. That suggests 
instead maybe the application of force should not be concentrated at one 
point, but distrbuted along the length of the blade.. The application of 
heat will likely soften the inlaiy, but might still yield astraighter 
blade? What say you?
