Those aren’t for sharpening. They’re for honing the blade. A sharp edge is thin enough to get bent out of shape during normal use, so the honing tip serves to straighten the edge, not sharpen it.
Yeah, honing rods bend back a bent blade edge. This can extend how long a whetstone sharpen is good for, but only by a little. They aren’t a replacement for a whetstone which does the above, and also sharpens the blade.
Those sharpeners are worthless.
Whetstones are the only true way to sharpen a good knife.
