What is the difference between a sharpening and honing steel?

Honing steels are used to straighten the edge of your blade. It is not able to physically shave off some of the dull edges of your blade and sharpen it in the way that a sharpening steel can. After using a honing steel, the knife may seem sharper because the blade has been straightened and is fully aligned.

What is sharpening a knife?
