I wonder why they didn't build sharpeners into the scabbards. Right near where the hilt is, put a couple of whetstones criss-crossing to form a "V". That way, whenever you drew or sheathed your weapon, it would sharpen it slightly.
I have a "scabbard" for a kitchen knife that is like that. Every time you use it, it sharpens itself. Wonderful little gadget.

I think the vid explained that part- metal expands when its cold so putting metal on metal might get your sword stuck. Also jap swords are sharpened in between battlws and European swords really dont need sharpening since they rely more n brute force than cutting edge.

quality steel worth sharpening would have been owned by knights almost exclusively, and a sharp sword isn't going to cut through plate mail. it'll just chip.
