Hello Gavin,
Yes, kampilan blades do have a bit of flex (and will return true if things are not overdone).
As you assumed, Ray was referring to the blade setting a bend from poorly aligned cutting attempts; usually, this can be manually straightened out again. (Obviously, this should be avoided with antique blades; OTOH, some trial & error is part of the valuable hands-on research and old blades can be surprisingly resilient...)
Regards,
Kai
