The front paws of a tiger have five toes each. The claws can be pulled inside while the tiger walks, which helps keep the claws sharp. Tigers also use their claws to mark their territory by scratching on trees. Conveniently, this also sharpens the claws.

They use a nail file to sharpen their claws,
Nail clippers if their nails get too long.
The females go in for the nail wraps.

you just grew your nails after a week they become sharper and after another weak they become weaker
like wise naturally their nails are sharper but the maintain length by rubbing to woods and stone not to sharpen but to maintain length if they grew long they will break they cannot catch or hold or hurt or even kill the prey with claws

That's like asking why a fruit fly doesn't have claws for killing. Different species evolved in different ways. Each species got what they needed. Even w/o claws humans have managed to kill whatever the wanted to.

They keep their nails sharp by keeping their nails inside their paws and bring those nails or claws while hunting.

Just like house cats -- by clawing things.
