As usual a variety of answers on how to get a keen edge, however the question was about the longevity of the edge, and that surely depends on the steel the tool is made from

It only partly depends on the steel.
Some woods blunten tools quicker than others .
In my opinion some turners can keep an edge longer than others good tooling helps ..
A tool that is cutting cleanly will keep an edge longer than one that is hacking at the wood
