Sharpening steels do remove material from the blade edge so can be used to sharpen a dull blade. I prefer using them to maintain the edge. So a couple of strokes on the steel if I've been using the knife for a long period of time or can feel any burrs on the edge. For more serious sharpening I'll switch to a wetstone.
