Is it supposed to bend?
I bought this for my husband.  We liked the option of collapsing it for when we travel. However, it doesn't seem stiff enough and causes some problems when my husband gets his shoes on.  There's a spring between the blade and the shaft so there must be a reason for it.  My husband just got it and said we will try it for a little while longer and see if he can get use to it.  It's different than the last one he had that was really rigid and helped him slide his foot in better.
