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 American walnut wood. It is built to last a lifetime. Suitable For: All Western knives and Japanese knives. 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.)
