HORL 2 Oak Rolling Knife Sharpener - Kitchen Knife Sharpener for Razor Sharp Edges Made in Germany - Easy Knife Sharpening Kit - Roller with Magnetic Holder with 15 & 20 Degrees

Well designed and well made. Easy to use and produces an excellent cutting edge, which even improves after further sharpenings, when the same sharpening angle is used.

I studied several options for a few weeks then decided on the Horl 2. German efficiency at work again. The principle works fine and delivers a quality edge as per the manufacturers recommendations. After first use it’s soo easy and smooth to maintain the knives sharpness. Even my wife likes slicing vegetables instead of chopping them…

Perfect sharpener! It does much better job than the usual sharpeners that you suction on the table that always break after a year (just after the warranty's expired). This is not so fast but the results make up for it. Just remember! If you have a smaller knife don't despair! Just put it on a cutting board with the sharpener off the cutting board and you can sharpen it as if it was full size!

Generally great sharpening performance, but overpriced and magnet needs to be stronger - for the price should include a fine stone.

Quality product and does the job well, avoid the copies which are a lot cheaper but don't last and the magnets are very weak, but the Horl magnets are very strong

Why did you choose this product over others?: Easy to use (providing you have a level surface) effective and not an unreasonable price if you have good quality knives. This is the real brand all the others are cheap knockoffs that won’t perform as well!

This is the ultimate in knife sharpening but be warned there are similar advertising a fake look a like make sure it has the HORL STAMPED ON THE ROLLER BODY thus is one of those times where you get what you pay for. Don’t be fooled by cheap lol a likes. Follow the directions accompanying the product and your knives will be razor sharp every time Worth every Penny I also bought them leather strop with grinding pastes trust me you won’t be dissapointed

If you want the original then this works where as the copies do not work.

Con i coltelli professionali una bomba

Easy to use - however, would have preferred the sharpening edge to be longer to better support long knives.

I got this brilliantly simple sharpening set a few weeks ago, and have used it to sharpen two Japanese knives (15-degree edge) and a bunch of western knives (20-degree edge). It took just a couple of minutes per blade (a bit longer for good carbon steel, a bit less for softer stainless steel). Sharpness was excellent (*). I amused myself by cutting slices of ripe tomato that were so transparently thin they had only one side... But seriously... excellent results from such a deceptively simple and easy-to-use tool. One of my knives had a blade wider than the diameter of the roller, but that was easily solved by putting the magnet block and blade on a counter-top in the usual orientation, but having the roller raised on a cutting board (second photo... if Amazon keeps them in the order I attached them). (* I like this product enough that I might buy the additional finer-grit end-caps to achieve supernatural sharpness. I'll never reach the levels of my brother, who has an array of sharpening tools and blocks and grits and honers and strops and... and... and is so fanatical about sharpening that he can produce an edge that will slice a hard turnip from across the room just by waving his knife threateningly. But for us ordinary people, you can put away any motorized or gimmicky sharpeners you've bought (or received as gifts) and just use the Horl 2.) DO NOT reward rip-off companies - mostly Chinese, it seems - by purchasing a knockoff. Reward the Germans; penalize the makers of cheap knock-offs. Yes, some of your money will go to Amazon, unless you live in a European country where Horl will sell and ship directly, but it's the price we pay for living in North America or other parts of the globe. Shipping and handling were prompt, and the sharpening set arrived in perfect condition. Just remember that when you pay Horl for the legitimate product, - you are paying for the original idea, the superior German engineering and development, highest-quality components and workmanship, and a superior reputation of a company that uses the founder's family name and stands by the quality of their product. When you buy a knock-off version from some anonymous company whose "name" is just some made-up jumble of letters, using sweat-shop labor (breaking the laws of China, both in the realm of intellectual property rights and in the realm of human rights and workers' rights) by paying off officials), and building with the cheapest materials that should barely hold together until you get it home... maybe. And if you and thousands of others report that the 'diamond' grit of a knock-off sharpener wore off in two weeks, or the roller mechanism got wobbly after two sharpenings, they don't care. The anonymous knock-off company will just stand up another front seller with another jumble-of-letters name, and keep on selling shoddy crap that is stealing money, stealing livelihood from the dedicated designers/makers/entrepreneurs who make and sell the real Horl 2 sharpening kit. I absolutely recommend the true Horl 2 (or the Horl Pro, just because of who makes it...) to anybody who has knives they want to to sharpen to a superior level and maintain that way with little effort and no knowledge needed. I'm going to buy some more as gifts for my other siblings, except perhaps Mr. Fanatic Sharpener brother who enjoys his current sharpening hobby. The rest of us just want really functional knives with least effort, and Horl provides that.

Great Item Very Happy 😊

Prima di utilizzarlo, specie con coltelli dal filo molto rovinato consiglio sempre di dare prima una passata veloce con una pietra molto molto ruvida, in modo da pareggiare il filo, altrimenti ci vorrà troppo tempo per ottenere un buon risultato. Con HORL 2 ripasso accuratamente il filo su entambi i lati almeno due volte per disco, prima il disco diamantato e dopo quello di ceramica. Per coltelli alti, uso un tagliere come supporto per HORL, tenendo il tagliere paralello alla lama del coltello e scorro HORL sopra tagliere passando sul filo, fin dove arrivo, poi tolto il tagliere e faccio la punta. Per la punta, basta avere una tavoletta bassa mezzo cm, posizionata solo sotto al coltello in modo da tenerlo leggermente sollevato e viene molto affilata e appuntita, ottima per coltelli da disosso. La lama del coltello sempre o il più possibile, parallela al piano di appoggio. Preferisco decisamente 15° che 20°. E ne ho costruito uno da 10° che uso soltanto su un paio di coltelli destinati a carne cruda disossata per tagli chirurgichi, la lama fa i peli come un rasoio! Step finale do una pulita alla lama con della carta assorbente e lo passo dolcemente su un buon acciaino. Risultato finale notevole. Procedimento più lento rispetto alla mola ad acqua ma probabilmente la lama nel tempo vi ringrazierà. È più veloce e oserei dire preciso che a mano su pietre di almeno 3 grane. Con HORL 2 va specificato, su molti coltelli è praticamente impossibile arrivare fino alla parte finale del filo (vicino al manico) se il disco batte sul manico prima di arrivare in fondo. Su pietra non c'è questo problema.
