For most good knife steels, I find most ceramic or diamond hones to be much too low-grit.
As Mucho B mentioned, they scratch up the non-primary bevels, esp with the very low angles at which most good steels are sharpened.
I also had the HA ceramic (gave it to a friend), and it's a little less brutal than some of the others, but I much prefer the borosilicate glass HA hone or the smooth oval F.Dick steel.
The F.Dick has the added comedic benefit of having "Dick", "Dickron", and "Dick Polish" written all over it. Both of these hones can be used on hard steel with very light pressure to align the edge without removing any steel.
If my edge has a nick or small ding and I need to take it to a strop or finisher just to get back in action before I have time to do a full sharpening, I will use one of the smooth hones to align the edge so that the damaged sections don't scratch the heck out of my leather strop or finishing stone.
For quick touch-ups at home I strop in a j-nat or Marko special order DMT 8k plate. The DMT 8k is a solid bar of steel, so I imagine that it would hold up pretty well in a pro environment that might be too scary for an expensive and fragile traditional finisher.
