steel [sic]
If it's part of a knife set for culinary usage, the correct term for it is "a steel". I know it sounds odd, but that's what it's called.
Collins: "A ridged steel rod with a handle used for sharpening knives."

butcher steel
http://www.ehow.com/how_2282_sharpen-kitchen-knives.html
Kitchen knives should have a fairly coarse edge. I generally never hone them past medium which is about where a sharpening steel would put it.
Butcher steels are the long steel rods used by chef’s to maintain an edge on kitchen knives. Butcher’s steels are also available with ceramic or diamond-coated rods.

: I have never heard the qualifier "butcher" used before; it's always been just "a steel". Maybe it's a US thing....//I'm glad you made that joke. I didn't dare....

Could be. I don't claim expertise as a Metzger.
