The quickest (but not easiest) method to repair a damaged sword blade is with a belt grinder and progressively finer grit belts, while the most thorough way is with high quality water stones. But what about the cheapest, simplest? All you need is a file, and some sandpaper.

So in this video I show you how I remove very noticeable nicks and notches in a blade, with minimal tools. It's not the prettiest, most painstakingly precise result by any way, but it doesn't take a lot of time and it gets the job done.

For re-sharpening this is still my preferred time-saving tool, the Work Sharp with Blade Grinder attachment (affiliate links):
