I'm the same. I am just learning right now what a honing rod is, reading the wiki article for it. I find that knowledge passed down organically is often incomplete this way. I have been using a pyreneean whetstone for a few years, it serves me well, but never bothered investigating the butcher's weird metal stick

You should. They are quick and easy to use, fairly cheap (especially considering they last a very long time), and they will make your knives last longer because you won't have to sharpen them as often.
