This is just a wild guess, but I suspect it is so that it will cut something.

A sgian replaces a pocket knife for me, and a blade without an edge is pretty well useless. There's always something that requires a knife when you least expect it.

As to the process, if you are hoping to preserve the polished finish, go to a real pro, not one of those mall people. They can put on edge on it, maybe even a good edge, but the polishing takes special equipment like belt sanders and such.

I agree with Topp that one should sharpen his own blade, but in this case--you probably have a mirror finish on it--I'd get it done by someone with the equipment. If it doesn't have that mirror finish, then roll up the old sleeves and get to work.

Good luck.
