Seems they don't technically sharpen either. The question is, is it different from sharpening on a whetstone, and are both necessary. Do they complement each other? Really what you two are talking over is whether anything besides a honing steel is required for knife upkeep, and any chef or blade aficionado will say yes, you need a whetstone. They would also say you need a strop, but that can be going overboard for a beginner. I would say a whetstone is good to recommend, however.
