HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener - The Original

The HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener offers you enhanced options for knife sharpening with two different sharpening angles. The knife is secured onto the magnetic base station, and you draw it across using the roll sharpener.

Key Differences Between the HORL®2 and HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener

The HORL®2 PRO uses higher quality materials like aluminum and stainless steel and features an integrated 1:3 planetary gear system, which performs three times as many grinding movements as the "Horl 2". It is heavier (1200g), making it more stable and easier to handle. The grinding performance is more efficient, especially at the knife tip. Both models have removable grinding discs, but the Pro also offers the option to use special corundum discs with finer grits (#3000 and #6000). Corundum discs are high-quality grinding discs made of pure aluminum oxide, ideal for precise and fine grinding tasks. The Pro's luxurious user experience, comparable to unboxing a new iPhone, is designed for technology enthusiasts.

The HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener: Perfect Sharpness for Everyone

The HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener is the ideal solution for those who encounter difficulties with conventional sharpening tools or possess less manual dexterity. Even without extensive experience, the HORL®2 PRO effortlessly sharpens all kinds of knives. In contrast to the complex process of sharpening with a honing steel, which demands a certain skill, the HORL®2 offers a user-friendly alternative. The consistency of the sharpening angle is crucial, as uneven sharpening can damage the knife. However, with the included magnetic sharpening guide, the HORL®2 PRO ensures a consistent angle of either 15° or 20°, virtually eliminating errors. Once the knife has been sharpened to the correct angle, each subsequent sharpening takes only 1-2 minutes, saving time and effort for both amateurs and professional chefs. Although some initial practice is required (it's important to carefully read the instructions), sharpening with the HORL®2 PRO is typically quick and safe to master. Compared to other sharpening tools, the risk of injury with the HORL®2 PRO is significantly reduced.

 

Tips for a Perfect Result

Knives that have been sharpened freehand often have a variable angle, making it difficult to determine. To avoid this, it's recommended to use the HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener and the magnetic sharpening guide to establish a consistent angle. This ensures that each sharpening session reproduces the same angle, leading to consistent results.

The time required to sharpen a knife varies depending on the condition of the blade and the quality of the steel. Initially, using the HORL®2 PRO Roll Sharpener may take longer as the knife usually doesn't have the desired 15° or 20° sharpening angle. On average, it takes about five minutes to grind the knife to the desired angle. A consistent angle makes subsequent sharpening easier, requiring fewer movements.

When sharpening particularly tall blades that extend beyond the height of the roll sharpener, a special approach is required. Place the roll sharpener on a sufficiently high cutting board so that the edge falls within the radius of the diamond grinding disc. This ensures that the entire edge is uniformly sharpened, achieving an optimal result.

You can also sharpen a serrated edge (e.g., on a bread knife) with the HORL®2. In this case, you don't need the magnetic base. The reason is that the edge of a serrated knife typically doesn't have a 15° or 20° angle, and you can't adjust the angle of such a knife. This is unlike other types of knives. To sharpen a serrated knife, hold the knife in your hand. Rotate only the knife sharpener so that only the edge of the sharpening stone touches the edge. Now, rotate the knife so that you sharpen the knife edge and roll the roll sharpener along the knife. Keep the sharpener at an angle while doing this.

Best sharpener I've used. Took a bit of time to get my old knives edges back to set angle but once there it takes no time at all to sharpen.

Thank you for your review! We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying our HORL 2 PRO Rolling Knife Sharpener. We understand that it may take some time to get used to the set angle, but we are glad to hear that once you did, it was effortless to sharpen your knives. Happy sharpening!
