If you practice battodo and you practice often : tameshigiri on paper or omote you don’t need to sharpen ofter if your skills are correct if you cut bamboo and empty plastic bottle often like I do 1or 2hours every week or two weeks You need to re sharpen often your blades if you want to keep them very sharp or razor for cutting paper just after for exemple So I m finishing studies (second level) about sharpening now and with 30mn I have very sharp mid razor sharp with 2-3k 8k grit So of course many scratches on the blade... I m starting to get interest for polishing now for most beautiful blade I will talk when I ll have knowledge and result but in theory you need polishing stones and hasuya stones for scratches removed and revealing again the hamon if real hamon
