all that does is true the edge back to it's original edge, you won't get it sharper than it originally was when it was new. If you want it sharper you'll have to put a new bevel and edge on the blade
thanks for the Information, just bought a Kitchen set with one of those rods, thanks for your time and Video.(too bad the knives aren't even sharp enough to hone yet!)
That's all well and good, but a steel is not to be used for sharpening. Steels are meant to realign or hone (hence it being called a honing steel) the blade after being sharpened on a stone. There are some specially made to sharpen, but I would definitely not say they're more efficient.
Thank you for the information.

@louismg Most people do. Also the smoother you make the edge the longer it lasts.

His "alright" gets annoying.

re ervandsarkisyan: As a verbal tick, "alright" is one of the least annoying ones really.
Consider, "Basicly", "Actually", "Go ahead and", "YOU KNOW" (f**k I hate that one), weird sucking noises and of course the ever popular "um".
All things considered, this guy is probably one of the better, more relaxed amateur public speakers around; I can live with the occasional "alright".

Nice speech. You can sit down now. I'll give you an "A".
