Snip
From: Don Schwartz

Wiss inlaid scissors, 9in overall. One of the blades has a long bend in 
it (no kink), resulting in a 1/8 curve along the cutting edge. I have 
hammers, vises, a small piece RR track and can heat the blade if need 
be. How best to proceed?

I’ve had my best luck with controlled applied force. 
When I had make up a process to straighten crankshafts we set up a set of v
blocks and used a hydraulic press. Put the blocks on both ends. Spin the crank
and use a dial indicator to find the high spot. Set the blocks on both ends of
the bend and slowly press the crank down. Check run the run out and press again
if necessary. Better to press twice than to over bend.
Maybe you can use a vise and 3 blocks of wood to do a similar thing. 
Tape the blocks to the jaws. One on each end of one jaw and in the middle, or
lined up with the bend on the other. Crank the vise and check.
Good luck no matter what you try. 
After all if they don’t work now the worst you can do is stay the same.
