Also, does rubbing knives together sharpen them?
Absolutely not. A honing steel is significantly harder than the blade of a knife and is specially textured for honing. Rubbing two knives together is more likely to dull or knick the blades than anything else. The blade of a knife should never touch anything harder than a wooden cutting board.
Likewise, how do I know if my knife is 15 or 20 degree? The best way to tell is by asking the manufacturer of the knife. As a general guide, European/American knives manufactured before 2010 have 20 degree edges while Asian style knives have 15 degree edges.
