OK, now that I understand the context, I can answer more clearly. Blunt means that it is not sharp like a machete that someone has been using for cutting weeds all day. It has lost its sharp edge. Or like a kitchen knife that needs to be sharpened.
But this context is different. The blade has been damaged. It was struck against something harder than it. The blade has a dent in it.

Test it with your finger! :-)
A notched sword would be one with a jagged blade.

It could also be one that has been hit against a harder metal and has a notch in the blade (is that what you meant be a blunt blade?)

I suppose it could be a sword that has a notch in the handle for everyone killed by it. This was reputedly done by western gunslingers (mostly Texans!) who put a notch in the handle for everyone they had shot.

@DanielDeik Yea, because I'm reading this book and it says: a notched and broken sword lay by him, as if he had hewn at the rock in his last despair.
So I guess that means that the sword had been damaged, and was no longer sharp (?). I'm just trying to understand if "notched" can mean both jagged and blunt

A notched sword has nothing to do with being blunt - it has to do with having notches - either purposely notched or damaged from hard use.
