Take it to a knife sharpener. The tip needs to be ground off, then a new shape needs to be added. I've done it, but it takes a long time without a wheel. You will end up with a slightly shorter knife, but one in very good shape.

If you are in the City take it to Korin. They are very good and pretty quick.

Well this knife had already been put away until next Passover before I got to it, so if I want to fix it, I will have to pull it out of storage. I did have another slicer - a 12" Gonon Gironde stainless - with a similarly bent tip. I managed to "fix" it on a coarse whetstone (250 grit). I am not sure how much I rebent the tip back into place and how much of the crimp I simply ground off (I did leave light tracks in the stone), but it seemed to do the trick. I can still feel a light bump in the tip, but I did not want to go crazy grinding away since I feel like I don't know what I am doing and am bound to cause more harm then good. I am pretty sure it won't catch when I am slicing meat, which is what it is for, so I stopped when it seemed the knife would be usable but before I made too much of a mess of things.
