Kinked saws are the devil to fix. Bent saws can be difficult too - but 
sometimes not. But saws that are very slightly bowed, depending upon 
scarcity in your area and the ask price, m_i_g_h_t be worth a try. Not 
in any anteek maul I frequent. So it depends. How much are you willing 
to lose? You can always turn a bad saw into a pile of decent scrapers. 
You do need scrapers?

FWIW
