Our Sharpeners

ATTACH THE KNIFE, GRIND, HONE

The HORL Principle

Knife sharpening can sometimes be tricky, but the HORL sharpeners make it super easy and a real pleasure for everyone. No prior knowledge or trying around for the right angle needed! While the grinding disc rolls gently back and forth along the blade, the knife stays in place by the Magnetic-Angle Support. For even more culinary delights in the kitchen.

NOBODY WANTS TO SHARPEN KNIVES, BUT EVERYONE WANTS A SHARP KNIFE.

With the HORL3 Sharpener, knife sharpening gives you a real sense of achievement! There are three models, two grinding angles and interchangeable grinding discs for maximum versatility. Our stylish sharpeners are a must in every kitchen.

HORL Sharpeners

STYLISH DESIGN. EASY TO USE. PRECISE RESULTS.

GRINDING DISC

To begin with, the HORL diamond grinding disc quickly provides a high-quality sharpness. The industrial diamonds used are well suited as grinding material for steels of any hardness.

HONING DISC

As a second step, the ceramic honing disc further refines the result. Its integrated grooves ensure a smooth knife edge and remove any abrasive dust.

DESIGNED FOR DAILY USE, MADE FOR ETERNITY.

The block diamonds on the standard diamond disc achieve up to 80% more steel removal compared to the HORL2 version. This makes sharpening even faster and results in a more uniform grinding pattern.

Centered Grinding Disc

TWO GRINDING ANGLES. ALWAYS SHARP RESULTS.

The 20° grinding angle ensures a long-lasting sharpness for everyday use on sturdy blades such as European chef's knives. The 20° angle will also give outdoor and pocket knives a robust cutting edge.

The 15° grinding angle gives particularly fine blades made from high-quality carbon or Damascus steel a filigree sharpness. High levels of hardness in such steels allow a knife edge to be sharpened very finely.

STRONG MAGNETS. SECURE ATTACHMENT.

Developed for an even stronger hold, the HORL Grip Pad provides up to 70% more grip than the HORL2 version. With its ultra-strong magnets, it is now better at holding even the smallest of knife blades in place.

CONSTANT SHARPENING ANGLE

Getting the sharpening angle right is key to success when it comes to grinding knives. The more consistently it is done, the more precise and lasting are the results. Our magnetic angle support is a practical way to ensure the knife is always held at exactly the right angle. Once sharpened with the HORL, a knife can be quickly resharpened over and over again. Since grinding at a constant angle removes as little material as necessary, it helps the knife to last longer.

SECURE HOLD FOR PRECISION IN EVERY APPLICATION.

The combination of powerful neodymium magnets and the HORL Grip Pad hold the knife securely during sharpening. Reinforced by the anti-slip effect of the Grip Pad, even small blades can be sharpened consistently and reproducibly at the desired level.

  • The New York Times

    The HORL, a two-part rolling system developed by a German father and son, Otmar and Timo Horl, is now available in the United States. For a more consistent result, a magnetized wooden block holds the knife steady at a precise angle—20 degrees for most knives, or an optional 15 degrees for the finest blades—while the user rolls the cylinder with an industrial diamond surface across the blade. You finish with a ceramic disk to refine the process. Having two parts is not ideal, but the results are worth it.

  • Wall Street Journal

    Today, as a chef and restaurant owner, sharpening knives is a daily task at my Miami restaurant where we butcher all the meat needed to create our signature dishes, including osso buco, which gives our knives a serious workout. Thankfully, I found the HORL Rolling Knife Sharpener, a major upgrade for both my home and restaurant kitchens.
    | Adrianne Calvo, as told to Christa Glennie, Wall Street Journal.

  • Epicurious

    HORL sharpeners are good because they’re items that perform an important task that you’re likely to actually use a lot. I’ve used this sharpening system for several months to keep my knives sharp and the results have been good and consistent.
