A question for anyone who owns a Propeller 1 Blade 16L with Axle piece

[Sir Walter Maugham]

I recently read in a review that it has a rather significant bend in side of the blade. You know, the way you wouldn't want a sword to bend. At first I was going to write it off as a manufacturing error, but then I noticed the same problem in

. (around the 2: 51 mark)

If you own this part, does yours have a sideways bend? If so, is there a way to straighten the piece out?

It wouldn't be a problem if I was building a helicopter or something, but I'm using it as a sword on some of my old Bionicle sets to celebrate the theme's return.

Oh how pretty. When I clicked "preview post" the Eurobricks banner switched over from the Summer theme to Autumn. It looks very nice.

I have some with the "NInjago Golden Dragon" set some of them have bend to them. For straighten them out, I guess you could try to put them in a book with some weight on it. I am trying to straighten out a "Katana" with this method, I may need to try some thing else.
