Put simply, a sharpening rod is a bar of material that is considerably harder than the blade it is designed to sharpen. Ceramic sharpening rods are particularly effective as they are considerably harder than any steels. Use little & often to keep your knives in top condition.
A good quality sharpening rod acts to realign microscopic kinks, curls and folds that appear on a blade edge during normal use. They aren't designed to remove material from the blade, but act to restructure the grind profile for better cutting performance and longer lasting sharpness.
