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.

Swordfighting doesn’t look like it does in the movies. Swords should not be hitting swords. It’s horrible for them. If you do feel compelled to block another sword with yours, you’ll want to use the blunt side so as not to damage your edge. This will also damage your opponent’s edge less, although that probably doesn’t matter to you.
