Well, you use the steel (or ceramic) to keep the blade sharp. You need a 
stone of some sort to actually sharpen the knife.

I blunted my nice Global knives by not realising this.

One of my wife's chef friends pointed me in the direction of a local[0] 
Wusthof rep who does knife sharpening. I think I'll invest in 
professional help periodically.

of you, alas.

There's stuff above here
