Product Details
Made in Germany, HORL knife sharpeners are foolproof. They sharpen and hone knives in minutes, ensuring every inch of the blade is evenly sharpened. They are gentler than pull-through sharpeners (which shed excessive metal), more precise than honing rods, and significantly faster than whetstones – no guesswork or advanced training needed. Every HORL rolling knife sharpener is comprised of two parts: a rolling mechanism affixed with whetstone discs on each end (for sharpening and honing), and a double-sided magnetic angle support which holds the blade at specific angle (20° for Western knives or 15° for Japanese knives). The HORL 3 has interchangeable whetstone discs; the sharpening disc is made of enhanced black diamonds, while the honing disc is made of ceramic. These discs, attached with a secure QuickLock system, can be easily swapper for higher- or lower-grit stones for a more refined edge. The magnets are ultra-strong, tightly holding knife blades in place so wobbling is at a minimum. The finish is made from solid German oak sourced from the Black Forest. It is built to last a lifetime.
Suitable For: All Western knives and Japanese knives. Can be used with compatible whetstone discs, sold separately or as part of our exclusive bundles.
How to Use: Attach your knife to the magnetic angle support, blade side up. Use the 20° angle for Western knives, and the 15° end for Japanese knives. Roll the sharpening whetstone along the blade a few times, and do the same for the other side of the blade. Repeat the whole process with the honing whetstone, and you're set. (For regular maintenance, skip sharpening and simply hone your knives.)

Why we love it
'HORL has simplified the most important (and overlooked) kitchen task: keeping knife blades sharp. This results in safer and more enjoyable food prep. Their knife sharpeners are engineered in a way that prevents human error, and made with premium materials. Though several companies have tried to mimic HORL's original design, none of them come close to matching their quality and durability.'

About The Brand
HORL 1993
Timo and Otmar Horl, the father-and-son duo behind HORL 1993 had a singular vision: bring professional standards of knife sharpening to the home cook, simplified. What began at a home cellar is now a fully-staffed workshop in Germany’s Black Forest where every aspect of the manufacturing process is done locally, from steel melding to laser engraving.
