And it looks to me like the sheath still contains Dust blades. When sharpening a blade, does it make sense to only sharpen the bits of the blade which can be reached when it's not extended? (Snark not meant, honest question, there might have been something I missed) It's in episode 8/9, whichever the scene was in. She is clearly sharpening her sword, and there is no mark which implied it was telescopic like the original blade had.

That said, I could understand why she would keep the weapon short, since it would provide an easier time engaging people. The odachi was a anti-Cavalry weapon, after all. I could also accept if she was able to swap her weapon between Telescopic blades, which are longer and better against grimm, and traditional katana blades. Logical, and possible, considering the first time we saw her using her weapon, she did swap the blade her weapon was using before attacking.
