If you believe this you are ubber superstitious. NO

Do knives wear their edges away when they get dull?

Nope. Instead the edge folds over on itself. It does not chip away.

That used to be true back in the day, but nowadays there are some precision sharpeners that can make the blade perfectly symmetrical. Avoid the sharpeners on the back of can openers though.
