Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone can help me figure this out.

So I have this flat edge trainer blade that I want to sharpen (the metal is 17-4 stainless steel)

I'm worried that if I try to sharpen the edge, it will break. Could I get this blade to be sharp enough to usable for basic tasks like slicing tomato's. Any advice would be VERY helpful I'm not really a knife person but I figured some of you guys can give me some advice
 
It may be steel but it's likely not heat treated so it won't hold an edge. You also don't have much room to make a bevel from the slot to the edge. I'd advise you get another bali and use this one for what it was intended, a trainer.
