If your on about sharpening you need both a 'steel' and something abrasive like a stone.
You 'true' the knife every time you use it, the magnetism of the rod aligns the grains in the knife making it feel sharp. After a lot of heavy use this is no longer sufficient, and you need to sharpen it on something abrasive to get the cutting edge back.
