From beginner to expert
Well-maintained knives make cutting meat, vegetables, and other ingredients much more pleasant. With the HORL 3 Walnut Knife Sharpener, you can sharpen your kitchen knives and BBQ knives yourself, without complicated sharpening techniques. The combination of a rolling sharpener and a magnetic angle holder helps you work accurately and with a constant sharpening angle. Furthermore, the solid walnut finish gives the sharpening system a warm, luxurious look.
The magnetic sharpening aid has two fixed sharpening angles. The 15° sharpening angle is intended for a fine, sharp edge and may be suitable for certain Japanese kitchen knives. With 20° , you create a more robust edge, like with many European chef's knives. The powerful magnets and the HORL Grip Pad help keep the knife stable in place during sharpening. This allows you to maintain the chosen angle time and again.
Sharpening and deburring with two different discs. The HORL 3 Walnut features a diamond grinding disc that removes material from the edge to resharpen a dull knife. Next, use the ceramic deburring disc to remove the burr and refine the sharpening result. With HORL Quick Lock, you can easily change the discs. You can also expand the system with suitable additional HORL 3 grinding discs.
You start by choosing the correct sharpening angle for your knife. Place the knife against the magnetic holder and set it on a stable surface. Then, gently move the HORL 3 with the diamond sharpening disc back and forth along the entire edge. Repeat this on the other side of the knife and finish both sides with the ceramic disc. This allows you to maintain a knife in between uses or resharpen a dull knife. Always check the recommended sharpening angle for special knives.
From our years of experience in the hospitality industry, we know how important sharp knives are. We use HORL ourselves and are particularly enthusiastic about the ease of use and the ability to maintain our knives quickly and in a controlled manner. In hindsight, we wish we had discovered this system sooner. Being able to sharpen ourselves saves us from regularly outsourcing sharpening work, and the fixed sharpening angles help achieve a consistent result.
Choosing the HORL 3 Walnut or Oak? Technically, both versions work the same way: they have the same sharpening angles, grinding wheels, and the Quick Lock system. The difference lies in the wood. Walnut has a darker, warm appearance, while oak is lighter. At BBQ Valley Venlo, we are happy to help you choose which HORL knife sharpener suits your needs and knives.
Also available in Oak. In addition to the dark walnut version, the HORL 3 is also available in light oak. Both models have the same sharpening capabilities. Also view the HORL 3 Oak Knife Sharpener .

The HORL 3 Walnut has two fixed sharpening angles: 15° and 20° . The 15° angle is intended for a fine edge, while 20° is suitable for a more robust edge.
Which angle to use depends on the original sharpening angle and the type of knife. Preferably follow the knife manufacturer's recommendation.
The HORL 3 Walnut and Oak have the same sharpening capabilities. Both models feature sharpening angles of 15° and 20°, a diamond grinding wheel, a ceramic deburring wheel, and HORL Quick Lock.
The difference is the finish. The Walnut has a darker body made of solid walnut wood, while the Oak is crafted from lighter oak.
The standard HORL 3 has two grinding angles of 15° and 20°. The HORL 3 Pro features six grinding angles and a 1:3 planetary gear ratio. As a result, the grinding wheel of the Pro rotates three times faster with the same rolling motion.
For regular maintenance of kitchen knives, the HORL 3 is a practical choice. If you want more choice in sharpening angles or want to perform larger sharpening jobs faster, the HORL 3 Pro might be of interest.
Yes, the HORL 3 is suitable for many Japanese kitchen knives with a smooth edge. The 15° sharpening angle can be used for knives for which such a fine sharpening angle is recommended.
Always check the original sharpening angle and the shape of the blade. Some special Japanese knives require a different sharpening method.
Remove grinding dust regularly with a slightly damp cloth and store the HORL 3 in a dry place. According to the manufacturer, you can clean the grinding discs with a regular eraser.
Also clean your knife and work surface thoroughly after sharpening. This removes any remaining sharpening residue.
The HORL 3 is primarily designed for knives with a smooth edge. Traditional serrated knives, such as many bread knives, typically require special sharpening tools.
Therefore, do not use the HORL 3 directly on a serrated blade. First check which sharpening method the knife manufacturer recommends.
