To maintain a good cutting performance, sharpening is not the only aspect to consider. Every time a knife is sharpened, a small amount of metal is removed, leaving it slightly thicker behind the edge.
Eventually you will notice this since you will need more force to cut through the food, even if the edge is perfectly honed. To restore the performance of your knife it has to be thinned.
If you've cut something too hard for your knife to handle the edge might chip, leaving small dents in it. This has to be repaired before sharpening. Since more metal needs to be removed in order to restore the edge, it's often best to also thin the knife.
If you drop your knife, the tip or large parts of the edge can be damaged. If it's a beloved quality knife, don't worry. I can likely repair it by grinding a new profile to the blade.
