Yeah, but it seems that Sasuke was enhancing his sword with Lightning Release which Kinshiki still didn't try to absorb. The same way, Sasuke attacked Kinshiki with some ninjutsu (the same lighining release in the manga) to break his weapons before he got trapped by Chojuro/Kurotsuchi, no idea why he didn't bother to absorb that too.
