Which HORL should you choose?

All four sharpen to the same high standard. The Cruise is the simplest, with fixed discs. The Oak and Walnut models let you swap discs as you go further, and the Pro adds more angles and a geared mechanism that sharpens faster.

Four simple steps

How HORL sharpening works

A magnet holds the knife at the correct angle, so all you do is roll the sharpener back and forth along the edge.

1

Set the knife

Place the blade against the magnetic angle support so it stays stable while you sharpen.

2

Choose the angle

Use the sharpening angle that suits the edge you want. Standard HORL models make the angle repeatable for you.

3

Roll along the edge

Roll the sharpening side back and forth along the blade until the edge is shaped consistently.

4

Refine the edge

Move to the finer side or a refinement disc to smooth the bevel and finish the sharpening process.

Build your edge

HORL sharpening discs

Every HORL 3 starts with a diamond disc for sharpening and a finer disc for honing. The discs below let you repair a damaged edge, refine it further, or polish it to a mirror finish.

Compatibility: HORL 3 sharpening discs fit HORL 3 and HORL 3 Pro. They do not fit HORL 2 or the HORL 3 Cruise.

Complete the setup

HORL accessories

Docks and boxes to keep your sharpener on the counter, a leather strop for the final step, and a magnifier for checking the edge. Check the compatibility note on each one, as not everything fits the Cruise.

HORL questions answered

HORL knife sharpener FAQs

What is the difference between the HORL 3 and the HORL 3 Cruise?

The HORL 3 Cruise is the simpler fixed-disc model. It uses 15° and 20° angles with a diamond grinding disc and stainless steel honing disc, and its discs cannot be changed. The standard HORL 3 also uses 15° and 20° angles, but adds a solid wood body, ceramic honing disc and HORL Quick Lock, so compatible HORL 3 discs can be swapped in later.

Is the HORL 3 Pro worth it over the standard HORL 3?

The HORL 3 Pro is designed for customers who want more speed and more control. Its planetary gearing sharpens up to three times faster than the standard HORL 3, and its angle support gives you six choices: 10°, 13°, 15°, 20°, 22° and 25°. The standard HORL 3 is the simpler choice if 15° and 20° cover the knives you use and maximum sharpening speed is not important.

Can I change the discs on a HORL 3 Cruise?

No. The HORL 3 Cruise uses fixed diamond and stainless steel honing discs. It does not use the Quick Lock interchangeable disc system found on the standard HORL 3 and HORL 3 Pro.

Which disc should I use, and in what order?

Start with a diamond disc to shape or restore the edge. Use the Standard Diamond for normal sharpening or the Coarse Diamond when more material needs to be removed. Refine the edge with Ceramic Smooth or the Fine and Extra Fine whetstones. Use Kagami Ultra Fine when you want the highest polish, then finish on HORL Leather for the final stropping step.

What angle should I sharpen my knives at?

The standard HORL 3 and HORL 3 Cruise give you 15° and 20° sharpening angles. The 15° side creates a finer edge, while 20° gives a more robust everyday edge. The HORL 3 Pro adds 10°, 13°, 22° and 25° for customers who want more control over edge geometry.

Do HORL 3 discs fit the HORL 2?

No. HORL 3 grinding and honing discs are made for the HORL 3 and HORL 3 Pro generation. They do not fit HORL 2 sharpeners, and they also do not fit the HORL 3 Cruise.
