This trick works on carpenter's saws--it's possible you could make it work
here. Hold the blade on a flat metal surface (like an anvil), with the
curve pointing up. Holding the blade as flat as you can, gently tap the
metal with a light hammer. Each hammer blow will raise the stress locally
above the yield point, so the metal gets flatter. Of course, be careful not
to hit the teeth, or you will screw up the set.
