HORL 3 Cruise Rolling Knife Sharpener for Ultra Razor Sharp Edges Knife Sharpening Kit, Rolling Knife Sharpener Kit with Diamond and Stainless Steel Disc for Sharpening and Honing, 15 & 20 degrees

Picked this up after looking at other brands that were copies of the original. Love it. I never knew how dull my blades were until I maintained them with this.The magnet is strong and makes the sharpening fool proof. It is small enough to fit in the drawer, yet big enough to hold a chef knife with no problem. It’s so simple to use, it’s wild. Put knife in magnet. Run wheel along blade. Do both sides. Done.This set works great, saves time, refreshes your cutlery, and restores to joy of letting your knife do the work

The media could not be loaded. If I could give this 10 stars, I would!!! The piece that holds the knife has such a strong magnet that the knives do not slip at all! It sharpens every size knife I have from the small blades to the ling knives with ease. The rolling device is so smooth and effortless to push. It is well crafted, designed, and worth every penny!!! Great product!!!

I am a knife sharpening junkie.The good:This is the easiest to use, most precise way to achieve a constant sharpening angle, which any sharpenine junkie will tell you is 95% of the battle. I am really impressed with the ease of use and would recommend this system to anybody who doesn't want to make a career, or at least a sincere hobby, of sharpening. I sharpened several kitchen knives and they are indeed very sharp but more importantly, the process is just about foolproof.The other:I was hoping it would come with a few disks of different abrasive grits. One of the best sharpening systems I've used is the Wasabi system. It is a pain in the butt to set up, and it is more difficult to use, (but NOT super difficult), and it takes a little more skill to maintain a super consistent sharpening angle. But it comes with diamond stones up to 3000 grit, and after stropping, my knives consistently come out "sharp enough to shave". I sharpened 4 knives today with my new HORL-3 - using the same process for each - remove the black marker, smooth with the stainless disk, ,strop on leather - 2 sides, 1 charged with white, one with green. One knife came out sharp enough to shave - the other 3, not quite.Again, I think this is an outstanding system because it is so easy to sharpen at a consistent angle. Highly recommended to people who aren't as obsessed as me. If you simply included interchangeable discs and included a finer grit disk, I would give it five stars, but today I'm only giving it four.

I am no knifesmith but I do like sharp knives. Tried cheap sharpening wet stones, did not get good results. The Horl Cruise is easy to use and gets my German steel kitchen knives sharp enough for my liking with little effort.While it is a little pricey you can tell by it's weight that it is well designed and constructed, certainly compared to the many cheap knockoffs. The diamond sharpening disc shows no sign degradation. Highly recommended.

I wasn't sure about this version. After the first use, I noticed a huge difference in cutting. After using it about 3-5 times per knife, I can bring the edge back with a few locks on the sharpening stick and the leather strop. Must be the larger diamonds they advertise on this version.

I've watched the Horl sharpener since it's launch. If I were only reviewing it for materials and construction I'd give it a 5, but sadly I'm returning it. I just don't care for the coarseness on this particular model. My knives, of all sizes and shapes, aren't profoundly dull, and this model's sharpening side is too coarse. In addition, the design, for me, won't work well on very thin boning and filet knives, and deep bellied pocket knives. It's best suited for 6" and longer chef's knives. It won't replace any of the other sharpening methods I currently own. The pricier models that have interchangeable sharpening discs are interesting, but too expensive given the limited range of blade sizes they're good for. Awesome German craftsmanship. I am thinking of buying their scissors. It's just not the be-all and end-all of sharpener designs.

Very easy to use with large knives. Not so much for small blades. My knives are extremely sharp.

I bought the Horl3 to replace my Chef's Choice electric sharpener (which was recommended by America's Test Kitchen). I found the Chef's Choice ineffective as it was extremely difficult to keep the knife at the proper angle while the machine was vibrating. With the Horl3, my knives are always razor sharp, resulting in far fewer injuries.I like the fact that it's manual, compact in design, quiet, and easy to use. It's the matter of a few seconds to hone my chef's knife prior to prepping, and a sharp knife is a safe knife. I can now carve a roast into paper thin deli slices with my carving knife. It's really a game-changer.The design is a perfect example of form following function, and both pieces are well made. I highly recommend the Horl3.
