Oh no! I tried and tried to bend him back into shape, and even started to paint with it but I couldn't revive him to his former glory. I finally declared "I think I'm gonna have to put him down."This knife was "Dad" in my palette knife family portrait. How devastating for the family.
Ideas from my fellow painters started to emerge as to how to memorialize him. They felt my pain. Should he be bronzed? mounted? framed? made into a decoration for my work area? I will keep you posted. In the meantime...
RIP

sorry for your loss.
These tools can be like old friends.
But... they are a 'little' more replaceable.
My deepest condolences. (And what a great title!)
I was waiting for this post---such a tool tragedy. He really gave his all for your work. I know that Dad's memorial will do him justice.
Did you re-order???
so sorry, he lived a good life
