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.

Swords aren’t THAT soft.

They often do have tiny nicks and deformations in them which dulls them after being used too often. But they are designed to be hard to dent which is why they are made of metal.
