Product Details
The revolutionary HORL 2 sharpener takes the guesswork out of the most tricky aspect of using a whetstone: getting the sharpening angle right. It’s also exponentially quicker, as there is no soaking needed. But like a whetstone, it’s suitable to use on both Western and Japanese knives. There are two parts to the HORL 2: an angle support bar and a roller. The knife, blade side up, attaches to the angle support bar, which has two options on either side: 20° for standard Western blades and 15° for thinner Japanese blades. The knife stays in place thanks to strong magnets, while you move the roller back and forth on the other side of the blade a few times. The roller also has two sides: a diamond disc for sharpening and a ceramic disc for honing. The standout feature of this HORL 2 Pro model is the planetary technology: this allows the wheel to work three times faster than the HORL 2. The angle bar and roller have a dark bronze aluminium finish. This sharpener will last forever, and every part is easily replaceable in the event of damage.
We recommend using this sharpener with the Horl Premium Sharpening Set, which includes two finer-grit discs for a more refined edge and leather strop that removes any metal residue and inconsistencies.

Why we love it
'Horl rolling sharpeners are quick, neat, and effective. While whetstones take time and practice to master, Horl sharpeners do not. Using one is like having the ease, speed and definition of a pull-through sharpener, but the versatility and relative gentleness of a whetstone.'Specifications & Care
