From beginner to expert
A sharp knife makes preparing food much more enjoyable. With the HORL 3 Pro Bronze Knife Sharpener, you can easily sharpen your kitchen knives and BBQ knives yourself, without extensive experience with traditional sharpening stones. The magnetic holder helps you maintain the chosen sharpening angle while you move the rolling sharpener along the blade. This allows you to touch up a knife in between uses or resharpen a dull knife.
The most important difference compared to the standard HORL 3 is the 1:3 planetary gearing . As a result, the grinding wheel rotates three times faster for the same rolling motion. This makes it possible to remove material faster and to resharpen a blunt knife more efficiently. Especially when you regularly use multiple knives, that extra speed is a significant advantage.
Six sharpening angles for different knives. The HORL 3 Pro offers a choice of 10°, 13°, 15°, 20°, 22°, and 25°. This allows you to adjust the sharpening angle to suit the type of knife and the desired edge. The magnetic angle holder ensures a stable position during sharpening. This allows you to work specifically on a fine or more robust edge, depending on the knife.
The HORL 3 Pro comes with a diamond grinding wheel and a ceramic deburring wheel . Use the diamond wheel to sharpen the knife and restore the edge where necessary. Then, use the ceramic wheel to remove the burr and give the edge a neat finish. Thanks to the HORL Quick Lock system, you can easily change the grinding wheels without tools. Additionally, extra grinding wheels are available to further refine the sharpening result.
Easy to use. You place the knife against the magnetic holder and move the rolling sharpener along both sides of the blade with a smooth motion. Because the holder supports the selected sharpening angle, you do not have to constantly maintain it yourself. This makes the system accessible to both novice users and experienced cooking enthusiasts.
At BBQ Valley, we worked in the hospitality industry ourselves for many years. We know how important sharp knives are when cooking and how much maintenance they require. Since we started using HORL knife sharpeners ourselves, we regularly wonder why we didn't discover this system years earlier. It could have saved us considerable costs on professional sharpening.
What stands out to us most is the ease of use and the consistent sharpening result. Whether we want to quickly touch up a knife or sharpen it more extensively, the fixed sharpening angle makes the process clear and easily repeatable. The extra speed of the HORL 3 Pro is the main reason for us to choose this version.

The HORL 3 Pro distinguishes itself from the standard HORL 3 in two key respects. The Pro has six adjustable grinding angles instead of two and features a 1:3 planetary gear ratio. As a result, the grinding wheel rotates three times faster with the same rolling motion.
For those who sharpen a kitchen knife occasionally, the standard HORL 3 may suffice. Do you regularly sharpen different knives, or do you want more choice in sharpening angles and the ability to work faster? Then the HORL 3 Pro offers clear advantages.
The correct sharpening angle depends on the type of knife, the steel, and the original edge. The HORL 3 Pro offers six options: 10°, 13°, 15°, 20°, 22°, and 25° .
For many European kitchen knives, 20° per side is a practical starting position. Some more finely ground knives use a smaller angle. A larger angle may be suitable for knives whose cutting edge is subjected to heavier stress.
Preferably check the sharpening angle recommended by your knife manufacturer. This prevents you from unnecessarily altering the original edge.
Yes, the HORL 3 Pro is suitable for many Japanese kitchen knives. Thanks to the different sharpening angles, you can also work with knives that have a finer edge than is usual for European kitchen knives.
Do check the original sharpening angle and the type of blade. Not every Japanese knife has the same sharpening angle, and some special sharpening shapes require a different sharpening method.
No, the system is actually designed to make sharpening knives easier. You choose the desired sharpening angle, place the knife against the magnetic holder, and roll the knife sharpener along the blade.
The holder helps you maintain a consistent sharpening angle during sharpening. As a result, you require less manual correction than with a traditional sharpening stone. However, it remains important to work calmly and evenly and to follow the operating instructions.
The standard diamond grinding wheel and ceramic deburring wheel are designed for long-term use. Under normal use, they do not need to be replaced after every grinding session.
Thanks to the HORL Quick Lock system, you can change the grinding discs without tools. This is also convenient when you want to use additional HORL grinding discs for a finer finish.
The HORL 3 Pro is primarily suitable for knives with a smooth edge. Traditional serrated knives, such as many bread knives, cannot be sharpened in the same way. Special sharpening tools are usually required to sharpen the individual serrations.
There are exceptions, such as specially designed knives that, according to the manufacturer, can be maintained with a HORL sharpener. Therefore, always check the sharpening instructions for your knife before using the HORL 3 Pro.
