I have a friend who works in an anodizing shop, they do passivation. As he explained to me when he did some SS for me, it is done in a controlled heated steam environment, and is used to remove impurities from the surface of the steel. I had considered having him do some blades and guards for me just to see what it would do. He said it definitely makes the metal easier to bring to a high luster polish, and it is visible when it is finished.
