Yes, they are only on the surface, but the rods are not aluminum. The diamonds are embedded in nickel, plated to a steel base. I have both the cbn...
Hatchets, machetes, and other choppers excluded, M2.
For modern steels, I use silicon carbide 60/100/300 grit for edge damage and bevel set. Starting grit depends on how much metal needs to be...

The edges and longevity I get from sharpening s30v, s35vn, m2, m3, m35, m42, t42, m4, k390, rex45, maxamet and such is well worth using diamond....
