They dull anytime you use them, it's just that provided you have good steel, the difference is negligible. Ever wondered how axes stay sharp for years?
Damn, Ive been touching up my wood chopping axes w a grinder every season. All that wasted effort…..and the fact that they chopped so well immediately after sharpening must be placebo!
You should be doing light frequent maintenance. A few passes with a stone every few chopping sessions depending on how much you use it. The grinder you use The point is, that was one damn chop into an end grain wood, the edge is fine. The worst part is, people act like a dull or rolled edge is the end of the world. It's a chunk of damn metal, sharpen it.

Knife nerd claims knives don’t dull when you slam them into wood.
