That ist THE BEST video about the Horl rolling sharpener. I'm researching for a while now and have seen videos in bigger channels. Why is it so good? Simple: a) He says has used the sharpener himself for a while. They all do. b) But here you can see the wear and tear on the Horl on the video. This thing has done its work. c) Real world tricks on how to use the horl or work around his limitation. No question, that es speaks from extensive experience. d) the video is focused on information, not on beauty. The video still looks good, but its not glossy, the information provided is.

Whoa, those prices are insane. You could buy the worksharp professional setup for less than a horl and the extra stones. You could buy a wicked edge GO or a tsprof. All of which will do more knives than the horl. Horl doesn't work for pocket knives or smaller knives, or large knives. Literally every other fixed angle sharpener is cheaper and will do more. I can't believe the price of this thing. No wonder it's marketed to non knife people.

But they'll be disappointed if they use any of the other options on the market. They all work better, are less expensive and will facilitate the sharpening of more knives.

@Len_M. 4 дня назад

Do you have Woodworking Tools? Set up your table saw or saw with a long guide. Both will need a long guide. Cut a similar but bigger block of wood as Horl uses for their blocks. Route out some pockets for the Neodymium Magnets you are going to buy. Glue or press fit said Magnets into the pockets you routed earlier. I’ve never seen a Horl but I’m going to assume you can't see any magnets in their Holders, perhaps cut slightly more off than you normally would. Now after you have set the magnets attach your cover piece of Venner, small wood strip, etc, and now you have a Block that is not only longer, but you’ll be able to sharpen knives at any angle you made a Block for. Or you could just invest in a better adjustable sharpener, to each their own I guess. If you are scared of Japanese Whetstones there are guides like this one I found on Amzon (SHARPAL 194H Whetstone Knife Blade Sharpener Sharpening Stone Angle Guide, Chisel/Plane Iron Blade Honing Guide, Knife Edge Angle Finder, Knife Sharpening Trainer (Angle from 15° to 45°) Too be continued.

@lsamoa 4 дня назад

@@Len_M. Thanks! No I don't have any woodworking tools. I'm just a regular person who wants to cut their carrots with a reasonably sharp knife. But thanks for the advice. Those sharpal guides you mention are deceiving though, because the angle they give you depends on the height of your knife. I'm learning how to use a whetstone but it's a pain in the butt. I wish the Horl had more angles available, it seems like a simple and efficient solution.

@solarsynapse 4 месяца назад

If the drum was a smaller diameter than the rolling rings, your hand could be against the back side of the rings/discs to help prevent your hand slipping into the blade. They should have an extension piece with holes for the feet to raise the holder for larger knives. You could use 2 expensive bases for longer knives.

Dear god just buy a Chef Choice electric sharpener instead. Same price as this and is going to actually function the same for literally any knife you try to sharpen with it and without the DIY aesthetic most home cooks will not want to deal with with a Worksharp. I literally do not see any reason to own this product if you actually consider other options aside from JUST comparing it to a whetstone, like Prudent is. This is like an overpriced novelty gift you'd get for a cook who already has better.

how do you know the angle? I have various knives and I have no clue what angle I should choose

@Firevine 4 месяца назад

I'm honestly surprised it's not just a goofy gimmick. That price is uh... well they're certainly proud of it. For the angles, I was sitting here thinking that it would be relatively easy to build custom magnet blocks cut to the angles you wanted on a miter saw then routed out and magnets added. While yes, that's an easy job, most people with the skills, desire, and know how to do that probably aren't the target audience for this tool. I purchased a Wen 1/2" belt sander recently at a tool close-out store that was closing down. Just $13! Even full price is only like $45. I clamp that into my benchtop vise with a 1000 grit belt and I'm pretty sure that even my hammers are razor sharp now. Bit of a learning curve though and I don't recommend it to the general public.

@bdub0983 4 месяца назад

For the money just get a worksharp precision adjust. You can even get the pro model with a carrying case and extra stones for less than a horl. And it'll do far more knives (and other tools) than the horl will.

@tjarsun 3 месяца назад

Does it sharpen the tip of the blade? On curved knives it looks like it never touches the first inch or two. That would flatten the curve over time (making the tip more triangular)

@ajuric4606 2 месяца назад

He mentioned that issue, you can do two things, less pressure toward the tip of the blade, or to sharpen first 2/3s of the blade, from handle toward the tip, then put the tip of the blade on the magnetic angle holder and sharpen only the tip. It messes up the blade a bit, but works. Time stamp is 2:52 if you wish to rewatch that part

@mountaindweller4514 4 месяца назад

For honing I recommend using a vertical rod sharpener/crock stick. Very easy to use and great results. Only problem is depending on the one you buy, it can be missing angles. E.g. I've got a Lansky Turn box and it only has 20 and 25 degrees. You can buy a spyderco sharpmaker which has 15 and 20 degrees, but it's more expensive. Of course you can always make your own by drilling holes into a block of wood at your desired angle.

@-fazik-3713 4 месяца назад

Lansky Turn Box is so much underrated it is crazy. I got 3-Angle, Lansky and other systems, stones, but still I come back to my beloved Turn Box. 3 Turn Boxes that is ... even got the one with long rods :D.

@mountaindweller4514 4 месяца назад

@@-fazik-3713 Yes, it is so simple and fast to use, anybody can do it. A pull through sharpener is also fast and simple, but the result is not necessarily that great and it can marr the surface of your knife and can actually be surprisingly difficulty to use correctly (dont laugh lol) because often you're unsure if you're pulling through correctly as the device is intended. That said I believe in the industry they just use pull through sharpeners, so if you don't care about the look of your knife and just want to work, probably a pull through is the way to go. A honing rod is also fast and simple, but can be difficult to get a consistent angle. And what if you want to be more precise and do e.g. 15, 20 or 25 degrees? Then you need a lot of practice to hold the knife correctly. A crock stick eliminates most of these problems because you just have to hold the knife vertically and move it up and down! Furthermore it's very very simple to take out and clean. In fact the Lansky turnbox is quite small and looks like a wood decoration so you can just leave it in the kitchen in the window or something. I'm not trying to sell anything, just my conclusions and solution after trying different stuff. As for the Horl sharpener one problem is that it magnetizes the knife which makes steel filing residues stick to the knife during the process of sharpening.

Match it as close as you can to the factory angle on the knife. So if the knife is manufactured with a 16 degree angle per side, I’d use the 15 degree side. If it’s manufactured with an 18 degree angle, I’d use the 20 degree side.

@iamdunat0s795 4 месяца назад

I am a bit perplexed as to why Horl doesn't produce more angle blocks with a wider range of angles. I have a set of Wusthof knives. The factory edge on a European style Wusthof is 14 degrees, which is pretty close to the 15 degrees of Horl. But my Santoku has an edge angle of 10 degrees. I use my Asian-style Santoku all the time, and I'd hate to change its edge to 15 degrees. I can't imagine when I'll ever use the 20 degree side. It seems like selling a variety of angle blocks would be easy and make these sharpeners more versatile.

@PrudentReviews 4 месяца назад

Totally agree. I would guess it’s coming soon.

@mikehouser7587 4 месяца назад

It’s because the angle on the blocks is just a number and using the 20* block will sharpen one knife at 18* and another at 24*. This is because the angle on the blade from the spine to the edge will vary from knife to knife and that variance will change actual sharpening angle on the edge. Sounds like you have some fine knifes… I would take the money and your knifes to a “reputable” sharpener or send back to factory for resharpening every couple of years and invest in a quality ceramic honing rod to keep them tuned up between full sharpening. You’ll save money in the long run and your knifes will love you back with many more years of useful life. You’ll be happier too!

@AzTurboMini 4 месяца назад

@@mikehouser7587how did you come up with the angle changes with different knives?

@mikehouser7587 4 месяца назад

@@AzTurboMini It has to do with a few factors but let’s take an easy one first. A knife has a spine and an edge. The spine is the top part or dull side of the blade opposite the sharp cutting edge. If you take a heavy duty use knife the spine is very thick (wide) and the blade tapers from thick to the thin edge. There is an angle in the blade from the spine to the edge. If you take a fine cutting knife the spine is thinner creating a different angle from the spine to the edge. Putting each blade on a 15* block will result in the blades (with their own built in blade angles) will result different true blade angles relative to 90* which is the angle the roller is attacking the 15* of the block +/- the built in angle of the knife resulting in something other than a 15* angle of attack. The problem becomes even more complicated if the face of the blade from spine to cutting edge has compound or multiple angles on it. Impossible to get any precise angle control with this system. In the world of knife sharpening there are no new mousetraps only new mice. Not selling them but edgepro has some good videos explaining sharpening angles and how to account for precise angles. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Good luck and treat your fine knifes well!

@mikehouser7587 4 месяца назад

@@AzTurboMini just one other suggestion…. I would never use a new sharpener on one of my good knifes. Made that mistake twice in my life and trashed a couple of cherished pieces. I live in Nebraska and we have garage sales, thrift stores, and auctions. I go to those for some “decent” old knifes to practice on. By decent I mean like old Chicago Cutlery with good steel but the wood handles are cracked from age or dishwashers. Stamped cheap modern knifes won’t work but good older steel blades are great to practice on or to see if a sharpener is all it says it is. Even if the sharpener is good I would still practice on other knifes first. Lots of time, trials, and tribulations so like I suggested if it’s just for you and your fine knifes take to a pro every 6-12 months and touch up daily with ceramic or smooth steel and your life will be much happier. Now if you’re old like me I trade sharpening knifes for electrical and plumbing or automotive help and that works out great in a barter system.. :)

@BrotherCheng 4 месяца назад

Looking at the video it seems impossible to sharpen your tip properly. I feel like this is a pretty significant limitation of this sharpener's design. Because you are relying on the angle guide, it will only work easily on a flat blade. Any curved blades (including common western-style chef knife) is not going to sharpen properly past the belly unless you keep adjusting the magnet over and over again. Also, with how the angle guide works, it's only going to work properly if you can lay the spine of the knife flush on the table, but you can't do that for a small knife or if you adjusted the knife to sharpen near the tip. If you introduced a slant when snapping the knife to the magnetic block (which is hard to avoid) the knife will end up poking out causing you to sharpen unevenly. You are basically forced to rely on guesswork when sharpening near the tip, but the whole point of such a sharpener is to not have to do that to begin with. With whetstone sharpening you can (have to) adjust the knife's angle near the tip and learn how that feels, and with a pull-through sharpener you can also make sure the knife makes full contact with it. With this design it seems hard to properly maintain full contact of the knife all the way to the tip without a lot of fussy adjustments. Eventually the knife will end up being sharpened unevenly. Edit: Actually, thinking more about the design, if you want to sharpen the tip at the same angle (which you should), you need to tilt the knife *down* to make sure the edge is parallel with the angle guide at the tip. On a table you just won't have room to tilt the knife down because you will hit the table. You can only do this if you put the sharpener at the edge of a table which is very unsafe. The fundamental design means you won't get a good proper edge at the tip.

@BrotherCheng 4 месяца назад

@@larsvegas1505I think that's fair. I just wanted to point out that this particular design is really going to work best for flat edges and if that's the kind of knives you use it's probably the best scenario. Personally I stick with a whetstone but I totally agree that it's a much higher learning curve / fuss, and you need to practice and make sure you have a steady hand to maintain a consistent angle.

In your demonstrations the roller is constantly missing the blade tips. Thanks for showing this; no thank you.

Yes, that is an issue. But like I mentioned, you can adjust the magnet to sharpen the tip.

here's the thing. if you want simplicity, you not great sharpening, not a chief, and easy of use get this. it's expensive but easy to use and will last forever. you want cheap but good get one of those "knife sharpening systems" online for under $20. they take a little time to set up and a little more to learn but have more grit options.

Please do not run your knives through a pull through sharpener. Theres a reason they are the cheapest option. You would be better suited to spend the same amount of money on some cheap diamond stones.

Please for the love of steel, don't use a pull-through sharpener. It's not effective and destroys your knife

This product is horribly over-priced! If you're the type of person who never sharpens your cheap knives, there's another MUCH cheaper and easier option to consider. Knife enthusiasts hate it, but you're not one of those. You want cheap, convenient, and easy, right? The Rada Quick Edge First, some negatives: . It provides only one blade angle, about 19 degrees. But you're not a knife person, you have no idea why you should care, right? . It is not suitable for use with harder "super steels". But you purchased your knives from Target, or the grocery store, or Smart & Final, or the dollar store, right? So you don't need to worry. . It doesn't produce the sharpest edge in the world (though still quite sharp). And you wouldn't know a hair-whittling edge if it sliced your finger off, right? I mean, you haven't sharpened your knives in so long you might as well be cutting with a child's plastic toy knife, right? . The sharpness doesn't last that long, because the edge isn't a highly-refined, smooth edge. You'll see under magnification that the sharpened edge is kinda chunky, full of burrs and teeth. But that's okay, because restoring sharpness is super fast and easy. . It won't, can't fix nicks. But so what? Now, the advantages: . It's cheap. Really cheap. . It's small, easy to store. . It's super quick and easy to use. So you've purchase the sharpener, and you're ready to sharpen a knife. What now? . You need to "re-profile the edge", which simply means you need the blade to conform to the shape of the space between the wheels of the sharpener. Just pull the knife through the wheels a bunch of times, using only light downward pressure, until the edge is sharp. This takes a few minutes, because a fair amount of metal needs to be removed from the blade. I've used as many as 200 pulls on some knives. Now give the knife a couple very light pulls through the sharpener while slightly tilted, first to one side, then to the other. . Start using the knife. . Give the knife about 5 quick pulls through the sharpener either before or after each use to maintain sharpness. It really is that quick and easy! You may find this sharpener to be a "gateway drug" of sorts. I personally have moved beyond the Rada sharpener, finally settling on freehand sharpening of my knives on diamond and ceramic stones. I've now spent far more on sharpening equipment than I'll ever spend on kitchen knives!

Absolutely not needed. Period. Honestly all these startups trying to reinvent the wheel with some cute new tool, freeze dried food (I’m looking at you Huel), or a wallet that drives you to work as well a hold your cards, Jesus Tapdancing Christ, this is totally not needed.

For about twice the price of this gadget you can buy 3 quality water stones and sharpen your knives for many years…….correctly.

@peteredwards2318 2 месяца назад

I just can't understand why these things get sold. Like, if you can't make a $5 set of crappy file cards give you an edge that'll cut the full stops off the end of your sentence, this thing isn't going to help you. You're better off using dirt cheap crap and learning how to get it right without the roller, than trying to justify big spends to solve problems that skills are a better solution to.
