Boon 2 blacksmith RP. Ability 2 keen weapons til its damaged

Sorry for the abbreviated english and stuff in the title, character limit and all that.

My suggestion is thus. The implementation of a new fixture (grindstone perhaps?) that allows a blacksmith to apply the keen property to a weapon until said weapon takes a point of damage.
Alternatively, a consumable from art crafting, a whetstone item that does the same thing.

A warrior should always want to keep their weapon sharp or just generally well maintained, this would represent that, and losing the keen as soon as its damaged represents the dulling of the edge through use.

The DCs of the action could be the same as the one's to repair a weapon, and this will bring more RP to smiths as not every fighter is a smith, and those that are will have more customers because people will want their weapons keened.
