HORL 3 Pro

The integrated planetary gear system features a 1:3 transmission ratio, meaning one rotation of the handle results in three rotations of the grinding disc. This significantly speeds up the sharpening process and reduces the physical effort required compared to standard rolling sharpeners.

For most standard kitchen knives, a 20° angle is the ideal balance between sharpness and edge durability. Use the 15° angle for finer, thinner blades like Japanese-style knives, and the 25° angle for robust outdoor or heavy-duty utility knives.

No, this system is specifically designed for smooth-edged blades. It is not suitable for serrated knives, bread knives, or scissors.

Start with the diamond disc to establish the edge geometry and remove material. Once you have achieved a consistent burr along the entire length of the blade, switch to the ceramic disc to hone and polish the edge for a razor-sharp finish.

Yes, the magnetic grip pad is designed to securely hold blades of various sizes, including large chef's knives. It keeps the blade at the correct, consistent angle throughout the entire sharpening motion.

The oak wood housing is durable, but it should be kept dry. Simply wipe the sharpener with a clean, dry cloth after use; do not submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher.
