S30V EDC gets a few Sharpmaker strokes about every other week. Most others, 440C thru A2 get it weekly.

If you draw a distinction between sharpening and touch-ups, then I can say I rarely sharpen my knives. I touch up my EDC as needed to keep it at least arm-hair shaving sharp.
The OP questioned the need for super steels if you always touch the edge up after every use. While I see his point, the great thing about better steels is that you can do things like cut up a room full of cardboard boxes, for example, without have to stop to maintain the edge. Such big cutting choses that entail lots of cuts chores is where they shine.

When dull. Or rather, when not at peak performance, which depends solely on use.
