As someone who makes knives and swords as a hobby, I can verify that many things are capable of sharpening iron. Slightly less things are capable of sharpening steel.
Know what's great at refining a dull edge to be razor sharp? Ceramic. And I have legitimately heard someone refer to ceramic safety box cutters as "woke" at work. I don't get the (il)logic of that...
So uhhhh.... Yeah. Even "softer" things will sharpen stuff.
A colleague of mine says he sharpens his knives with... leather.
I have no idea whether to believe them.
Perhaps he meant that he strops his knives? Incredibly important to do so in order to maintain their sharpness.
