wait what? steeling rod? does that really sharpen a knife? it just takes rolls out of the edge and aligns it doesn't it...
???

and isn't ceramic very fine? (I guess it could be coarse too but I think it's often used for finer stones)
I would think a steeling rod would get rid of some of the rolls and stuff in the edge and than a ceramic rod would actually sharpen it...
