The alternative for a sharpening steel?
#2
I've seen all kinds at Blade. The springs pretty well eliminate their effectiveness, IMHO.

On the rare occasion I actually dent an edge, I iron it out on practically anything that's smooth, fairly hard, with a small contact area. Kitchens are absolutely loaded with smooth ceramic objects.

I also have a bunch of smooth steels that are impossible to misplace. I call them vise handles.

If I roll an edge, I do use the un-glazed ring or the top edge of a vehicular window.

Ordinary objects abound, so I never have to retrieve a dedicated tool, which would always be more difficult for me to locate.

YMMV
