Exchange it for another one before you damage it trying to fix their fuckup?
ETA: in the event that it is your fuckup not theirs  , needle nose pliers as close to the mounting point as possible and twist.

Put a little piece of round stock in the Bend and then use an arbor press to push down just below the piece if bar stick.

Find something round just slightly bigger then the ID at the anchored end, insert and pry up lightly while pressing down on the open end...

Vice and a sledge.
Get a t6 or whatever size you need, remove. Bend. Replace. |

It will likely take less time to take it off and fix it than to come up with a good way to fix it while attached.

Slip a small box end wrench over the clip and bend it back towards the body of the knife. I did this on my Leek and it worked.

You can't. You have to over bend it to get it to return where you want it. When bending metal there is always spring back unless it is dead soft. And that my friend isn't dead soft.
take it off and pad it with a cloth and squeeze with a pair of pliers. |

Had to take mine off my spyderco, put it in a vice and bend it. You will never get it flush without removing.

Just get the right size bit and remove the screws, it'll be easier and you'll probably need it down the road anyway.

My understanding of bending metals leads me to believe that you will have to remove that to bend it back.
Also, I am going to just leave this right here.  Attached File |

Happened to me several times on an Infidel. I just use a pair of hawk nose channel locks and squeeze just below the screws. No sweat

Why don't you just remove it? T9 (6?) bits are cheap as hell. Might as well do it right, or not do it at all.

I've done that a few times to one of my ZTs. Usually just use the vise to squeeze it back into shape. I don't even remove it from the scale anymore.

Take a drill bit, or something about the inside diameter of that curve, then you can take a little block of wood (hard wood, not soft like pine) and a small hammer and tap it down flush. You can put some masking tape on the clip. It's spring steel, so you can get it flat again, although you may have a little crease where it bent up.
I did the same thing to a Boker knife for the exact same reason; caught on a seatbelt

It's cheap. Put it in a vice, squish a tiny bit right at the bend, remove, check tension, repeat in increments until proper tension achieved. If you mess it up, get the right bit and remove it.
