Thread: advice help Hedge trimmers

after restoring a lot of garden gear for my dear daughter - an old dear asked if I could do her old hedge trimmers - now they are old and english - been good quality once - but abused- one blade to me looks bent with a slight bow in it - firstly were any made like that in order to get the blades meshing together ?? - if not how would one try to straighten the blade - they feel like a good quality steel ??- heat and our press at work maybe - doubt a hammer will do it - any ideas out there
