Yep, get a new blade.

I've "tapped" one straight before, and used it. But I wouldn't
advise it. It'll break sooner or later, probably sooner. Best to write
it off.

I've found bandsaw blades brittle. I've snapped off pieces 1-2
inches easily (with pliers and a vise), then glued them in a slotted
plywood handle, to make small caving knives - ground to shape. Works
pretty neat.
