@jnbhlr I use the Park Tool FT-4 to check alignment and securely hold the fork. It only supports 1" steer tubes. As long as the damage is minor then it should be safe to align it. Whatever method you use, you'll need to check if one blade is ahead of the other, lateral alignment in relation to the steer tube, spacing between the dropouts, and dropout alignment. A gauge or fork building jig helps limit the amount of bending and re-bending you do. https://www.parktool.com/en-us/product/fork-clamp-and-gauge-ft-4
