The innovative HORL 2 Knife Sharpener Walnut simplifies the tricky task of achieving the perfect sharpening angle with a whetstone.

It eliminates the need for soaking and is compatible with both Western and Japanese knives.

Featuring an angled support bar and a roller, the knife attaches to the support bar with the blade facing up. The support bar offers two options: 20° for standard Western blades and 15° for thinner Japanese blades.

Thanks to strong magnets, the knife stays in place while the roller is moved back and forth on the other side of the blade a few times.

The roller has two sides: a diamond disc for sharpening and a ceramic disc for honing.

What makes this HORL 2 model stand out is its interchangeable sharpening and honing discs on either side of the roller, allowing for the use of higher grit discs (sold separately) for a finer finish.

The angle bar and roller, crafted from German Black Forest walnut wood, are produced in-house by HORL.

This sharpener has long-term durability and any damaged parts are easily replaceable. 

For best results, use it with the HORL Premium Sharpness Set, which includes two finer-grit discs and a leather strop for a precise edge and removing metal residue and inconsistencies.
