Next, set the roller on the counter next to the knife blade roll the coarse abrasive slowly along the edge of the knife—I’ve found that 30–45 seconds per side is enough.This happened a couple of times in the video when turning the sharpener to work the tip of the blade, and prompted me to abandon the ceramic stone for a blade with curved tip like this. Increasing demand and the acceptance of dealers quickly made HORL® roller sharpeners a popular way to sharpen knives. The knife also retains its sharpness for a long time due to the stable cutting edge and is suitable for the widest range of cuts in daily kitchen life.
