Product Details
Made in Germany, the HORL 3 Cruise knife sharpener is efficient, precise, and built to last a lifetime. Using it is simple: Attach a knife, blade side up, to the magnetic angle support, and roll the sharpener against the entire length of the blade a few times to sharpen and hone the edge. Repeat for the other side, and voilà; professional-grade results, with very little effort.
This upgrade from the HORL 2 Cruise has an enhanced black diamond sharpening disc, which provides significantly faster and more uniform results; along with a durable stainless steel honing disc. The magnets have 70% more grip, so even small paring knives can stay securely in place with minimal movement. The magnetic angle support now comes with the extra option of a 15° angle for Japanese knives, in addition to the 20° angle for Western knives. HORL worked with Swiss company #tide to design the sandy finish of the HORL 3 Cruise, which is made from recycled plastic found by the sea. The HORL 3 Cruise is available as a bundle with the HORL Finishing Leather, a strop that smooths any metal residue or inconsistencies after the knife sharpening process.
HORL 3 sharpening and honing stones are permanently fitted, and cannot be swapped for higher- or lower-grit stones. As the honing disc is made from steel rather than ceramic, we do not recommend it for premium Japanese knives that have a Rockwell hardness of above 60, such as Kai Shun, Miyabi or Blenheim Forge. (For rolling sharpeners that are suitable for all knives, with options for interchangeable discs, see the HORL 3 or HORL 3 Pro.)
HORL products can only be shipped within the UK.
Why we love it
'A knife sharpener is one of the most important yet most overlooked tools in the kitchen, and HORL 3 knife sharpeners are here to change that. Quick, user-friendly, and ultra-precise, they are engineered in a way that vastly shrinks the margin of human error. No other brand’s rolling sharpeners deliver HORL’s results, and that comes down to craftsmanship.'

About The Brand
HORL 1993
Timo and Otmar Horl, the father-and-son duo behind HORL 1993 had a singular vision: bring professional standards of knife sharpening to the home cook, simplified. What began at a home cellar is now a fully-staffed workshop in Germany’s Black Forest where every aspect of the manufacturing process is done locally, from steel melding to laser engraving.
