Going by the tone of your post..this is a new sword ??. If so. I'd suggest you take the pics, and then contact the supplier. A new sword shouldn't have a set in it. Good luck in getting problem resolved.

If they won't replace it tyler or you don't want the cost of shipping,
1. try clamping the sword down (would use 2 clamps) to a flat edged table, Note. protect the blade from the clamps - cardboard is awesome. --you may want to put a slab of wood under the blade so the guard doesn't cause an incline (i.e. you don't bend the blade further from clamping) 2. extend the bend to be centered right over the edge (you can find the bend with a line and mark it with a dry erase marker (small rope by stretching from guard to tip) IF you used a wood slab under the blade, line it up with the edge 3. press down with your body weight slowly, release up slowly each time (doing dips but with both hands on the blade) try 1 cm then 2 cm. You want to place both hands in the middle of the table edge - to - sword tip when pressing.
:!: ****I assume the DSA is unsharpened? If it's sharpened - wrap newspapers, then a layer of towels
4. check the rope line regularly and do it until it's straight, be patient
did this with my hms kat beater, when it took a set on some 2x4s...long before I knew any better :?
