Watching new hires try to sharpen a scimitar with a pull-through sharpener

That tool will wreck the curve and you'll lose the draw cut. I learned the hard way at my uncle's shop in Omaha, grinding down a good blade to nothing.

What did your uncle in Omaha say when he saw the ruined blade?

Call a local machine shop first, they can often straighten a bent blade for way less than a replacement costs. My uncle learned that the hard way after he already ordered a new one. Just make sure the metal isn't cracked.
