FAQs
What is the difference between the HORL 3 Cruise and the HORL 3?
The HORL 3 Cruise uses a recycled ocean-bound plastic body with permanently fitted diamond and stainless steel discs. The HORL 3 uses a solid wood body, HORL Quick Lock interchangeable discs, and a ceramic honing disc.
Which sharpening angle should I use?
HORL recommends 15° for particularly fine blades made from high-quality carbon or Damascus steel. The 20° angle creates a more robust edge for sturdy blades such as European chef’s knives, outdoor knives, and pocket knives.
Can the HORL 3 Cruise sharpen hard knife steels?
Yes. HORL states that its standard diamond grinding disc can efficiently sharpen knives across hardness grades.
Are the grinding discs replaceable?
No. The diamond grinding disc and stainless steel honing disc on the HORL 3 Cruise are permanently fitted. The Cruise does not use the HORL Quick Lock interchangeable-disc system.
What does the stainless steel disc do?
It is used after the diamond grinding disc to smooth the knife edge. Integrated grooves also help remove grinding residue in a few passes.
Where is the HORL 3 Cruise made?
The HORL 3 Cruise is manufactured in the Black Forest, Germany.

HORL 3 Cruise
Two Fixed Angles, Held Firmly
The magnetic angle support holds the blade at either 15° or 20° while the sharpener rolls along the cutting edge. Use 15° for fine, hard blades such as high-quality carbon and Damascus steel, or 20° for a more robust edge on European chef’s knives, outdoor knives, and pocket knives.
The HORL Grip Pad gives the magnetic support up to 70% more grip than the HORL 2 generation, improving hold even with smaller blades.
HORL 3 Cruise
Diamond Grinding and Stainless Steel Honing
A standard diamond grinding disc establishes the edge and works with knives across hardness grades. HORL’s block diamond surface removes up to 80% more steel than the HORL 2 version, helping the Cruise reach the desired edge more efficiently. The permanently fitted stainless steel honing disc then smooths the edge and removes grinding residue through its integrated grooves.
HORL 3 Cruise
How the Cruise Differs from the HORL 3
Unlike the HORL 3 and HORL 3 Pro, the Cruise does not use HORL Quick Lock or interchangeable grinding discs. It is the streamlined choice for cooks who want the core HORL sharpening method without building out a larger sharpening system.
