Well, I know that if I don't get enough rest I'm not worth a crap. Maybe straights are the same.
Steel does have "memory". A spring is a great example.
I've never seen a blade get sharper after a good rest, but I have seen blades get duller:

That's not to say it couldn't happen. I've just never experienced it myself, even though the idea of a self sharpening blade has it's appeal. In my experience, neatly organized wires tend to become tangled, raspberries get moldy and and the general tendency of edges is entropic.
