I wouldn't try and reuse it even after you get the kink out. The kink
will have weakened the blade and the blade will fail right where the
kink is.

You could cut and reweld at the kink, but how good are your welding
skills? If you overheat the blade and the weld point you will alter
the temper of the blade and it will break at that point too.

Like someone suggested you could salvage what you have, cut it to
length, drill holes and use it on a bowsaw or hacksaw.

Is there a good way to take a kink out of a 1" wide bandsaw (resaw)
blade? Not sure how it got there, and the usual suspects aren't owning
up to anything, but it's got the expected results in the cut quality.
How do I fix this, or is it trash?
