I took out one of my Granpa's 50yrs+ old agricultural tool.
It was all rusty started running it for a few minute against a rock and the rust disapeared and it cut with much more ease through wood.
How good could a guy that realy knew how to sharpen a sword make it cut?

The japs were autistic about this, the apprenticeship for a sword-polisher (sharpener) was longer than that for a blacksmith who made the swords. They tested blades on corpses and condemned prisoners, and for a time it was en vogue to have your sword tested to see what it could cut through.

they would also stack bodies on a dirt mound and then try and see how many could be cut through in a single stroke.

Exceptional swords could cut through multiple bodies at once
