You can get a bend like that by trying to pry something with the tip of the knife (like the lid of a paint can or a chocolate tin), especially if you try and bend it back the same way. How soft is the metal of the blade? If it is fairly hard, I would be wrong, as the tip would have snapped off rather than bent.
I have to say that it does look pretty deliberate, though. The very tip has been brought exactly into line again with the spine, for example.
