Knife steels do not actually sharpen knives. They have no abrasive but

For once Guiseppi is correct.... in a sense. What the steel does is
not remove any material but it creates a slightly serrated edge on an
already existing edge by lightly 'bending' if you will, the otherwise
smooth edge. It creates 'tooth'. Strapping does the opposite.

Stick to words, Rico.
