Probably.
It might break.

Re: Bent tip
How would you repair this issue? Gentile tapping with a light weight hammer or what?

Re: Bent tip
If the blade is carbon steel, I would anneal it a little before bending it bac.
Stainless, I would just bend it and hope it doesn't break. Bending, tapping-whatever it takes to get it straight.

Re: Bent tip
Looks as if someone used it as a pry bar. Good luck with it and let us know how it turns out.
