The ritual knife is meant to correlate heavily with ritual implements in real-life (well, "real-life") magic beliefs. An important part of the ritual sword is that it is, in its essence, the ritual sword and not something you use to cut your bread when the dishwasher is running. The blade that does thanatological rituals doesn't really work right unless it's dedicated to its purpose. This isn't a magical thing, at least not in any sense that the Necromancer himself can detect, but it's more than pure symbolism.

Why is it so? Who knows. Ultimately, the Philosophers don't know a ton about the physics of what they're doing, and the ritual aspects of thanatology has so far thwarted their attempt to turn it into a science.
