How are swords still have a sharp edge after blocking so many direct slashes from a sharp tempered blade.
Imo sword should look like saws after even one session of blocking really anything made of metal.

If you go into a real castle that has genuine swords of the era you will see plenty that have huge nicks and dents along the blade.
If you image search antique sword you will find plenty of examples.
There’s a huge amount of factors that will influence whether or not an edge piece of metal takes serious damage, but it certainly happens. Weapons that were damaged so much they were unusable would not be kept around in order to end up as museum pieces.
