𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿 Engineered in Canada, Kitchen Rolling Knife Sharpener with Ball Bearings, Detachable Dual-Sided Diamond Plates, Small Knives Slot, 20° & 15° Precision Sharpening

I purchased this and then I also purchased the "𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 Pro Accessories Package Set". A total of 220 euros for both. This is about the same price as I bought my "Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition". I have been using the Ken Onion for about 3 years and was happy with it. I misplaced it and couldn't find it so I bought the complete "HONE system" in case I ever found my "Ken Onion". I have since found my "Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition", but I will probably never use it again. "The HONE system" when used with a bit of patience, sharpens my knives razor sharp, literally, I can shave myself almost as well as using a cutthroat razor, something I could never achieve with "my work sharp". If you have a relatively sharp knife, it perfects it in minutes. I also had a few ever so slightly chipped hi carbon Japanese knives. These each it took over 30 minutes to sharpen. When my knives are sharpened, it takes only a few seconds to retention the edge. The 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿 is an excellent choice, but if you purchase the "𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 Pro Accessories Package Set" as well, you will most certainly have one of the best (for me the best) sharpening systems on the market.

I was warned to avoid rolling sharpeners unless I was ready to shell out for a HORL. While HORL is the original and highly regarded in this space, it's also extremely expensive. So I went down the rabbit hole--YouTube videos, online reviews, deep Amazon dives--looking for a worthy alternative that wouldn't break the bank. That's when I came across HONE, a Canadian brand. Most of the lower-priced rolling sharpeners get slammed for weak magnets, poor construction, or cheap sharpening discs. HONE has none of these issues. Build quality is solid, the magnets are strong and reliable, and the sharpening discs feel premium. One feature I use all the time is the small knife pocket on the magnetic base--it holds little blades securely and makes sharpening them easy. I genuinely couldn't be happier with my purchase. All my knives are sharp again, and now I look for excuses to chop things.

Well, my Hone Knife sharpener was delivered today and a few hours later, I've no knifes left to sharpen! It's well-made; it works and my knives are a lot sharper than they were before it was delivered (though I am not sure my knives are hair-whittling sharp - even though I splashed out for the 3000 grit disc as well). Slightly disappointed to find I am not supporting Canadian industry. Although designed and engineered in Canada it's still made in China. Also pretty disappointed with the poor quality of the instructions which consists of a QR code pointing you to a YouTube video - where a comment has been left saying: "...the worst instructions in the world..." a comment I'd second. Why "...the worst instructions in the world..." Well, 1) it's not clever when there's spelling mistakes in some of the titles - which, although pointed out by other viewers, haven't been corrected yet. 2) It would have been nice to have some idea of when I select 15 degrees and when I select 20 degrees. I've assumed my wife's Damascus steel knife needs 15 degrees and the rest 20 degrees. 3) some idea of the number of passes with the 400 grit would be nice (it suggests you only need "...a few..." passes with the 1000 grit). 4) what do I do about the tips of the knives - the point where I can no longer roll the Hone straight but have to move it at an angle to get it to align with the edge? Do I stop or do I carry on? Finally, it would be nice if Hone sold the full range of their accessories via Amazon for the benefit of those of us who've invested in the system and don't live in Canada.

I’ve always struggled to sharpen my kitchen knives and over the years I’ve tried many different methods. I found sharpening by hand using whetstones too difficult to get consistent results, the Lansky method too laborious, and pull through and electric sharpeners not good enough. So I thought I’d give a rolling sharpener a go and decided to try the Hone. It’s just perfect for me. It’s easy to use, sharpens quickly and efficiently to an excellent level of sharpness. Certainly more than adequate for my needs. A great piece of kit. If your looking at a method/tool to sharpen your kitchen knives to a high standard - don’t hesitate to consider the Hone sharpener.

I spent ages researching these and eventually got this one. I'm very pleased. It is a heavy item and the bearings are very smooth. The stand takes small or large knives, and the magnets are really strong to hold the knife secure. I have a knife that was too hard a steel to sharpen normally but with this Hone sharpener, it is now ultra sharp. If in any doubt and you want a sharpener get this one, you won't be disappointed.

This is a superb knife sharpener, solidly built and so easy to use, I wish I’d got one of these a long time ago instead of the old sharpening steel I used for ages. It’s not cheap but it’s definitely worth it, excellent packaging which keeps everything tidy when stored.

can not imagine a better knife sharpening system. ease of use, quality of finish both in the resultant sharp blade and the design of the unit. it sits in my kitchen cupboard like a modern sculpture, I have not thrown the box away as it is also a work of art. Very happy.

I have tried to use "traditional" knife sharpeners but am disabled (with very little strength in my hands) which means that I couldn't use them so my dad bought me a Hone for my birthday. I have to say that I can confirm that even for the uncoordinated this is super easy to use! It feels so well made and looks really cool next to my chopping board. The only reason that I couldn't give 5 stars is that I just can't get the knives to be "super sharp". My knives are DEFINITELY sharper than they were and so I am very grateful for that but I just can't seem to get them to 'paper cutting' sharpness. I would recommend as a safer, easier alternative for anyone with physical disabilities affecting their coordination and strength.

I've been getting a ton of Facebook ads for a rolling knife sharpener lately, so naturally, my curiosity got the better of me …. att first, I was tempted to buy it right away, but I thought, "Why not check out some comparison videos first?" Thank goodness I did. The original sharpener from Germany looked top-notch but was way out of my price range….. the one that kept appearing in the ads had a flood of negative reviews talking about it jamming after a while, which was a huge red flag for me. As I continued my search ….. I stumbled upon some videos featuring the HONE Knife Sharpener. The reviewers' positive feedback caught my attention, so I decided to take a leap of faith and purchase it. The return policy and 10-year warranty on manufacturer’s website gave me some peace of mind, just in case it didn't live up to the hype. Well, let me tell you, this sharpener exceeded my expectations. I've never had knives this sharp before. The company's claims were spot on. It's incredibly easy to use, with a solid, heavy-duty build. The two-sided reversible discs are a fantastic feature, making the whole process quick and effective. My knives are now sharper than ever before – almost frighteningly so. It's made cooking so much more enjoyable and fun, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you're thinking about getting one, I say go for it. You won't regret it.

First of all, I was wanting to wait a while longer before submitting my review, however I will update if I feel there are any more impressive or disappointing long term results. Pros - this is a very easy sharpener to use. -The base is *nearly perfect as is. Has a saddle built into the molding to act as a holder for the roller. The base is double sided for both sharpening angles. Meaning that it sharpens both large and small knives to 15° or 20° depending on what side of the base faces up. Has a ledge molded into the base to hold small knives above base lip. -The magnets are very powerful and hold knife very securely. - the diamond sharpening discs are double sided and easy to remove and clean. - the metal center "handle" of the roller is textured giving a nonslip feel. Being metal it will not swell or suffer any other negative effects of water infiltration. - there is a 3000 grit ceramic honing disc available on Amazon, and a 200 grit double sided diamond disc available at this time through the manufacturer's website. Cons -no registration for warranty. -both the 400 grit and 1000 grit diamond discs appear to wear extremely fast. Discs considered to be consumables and not covered by warranty. Referr to previous point. -replacement discs are quit expensive, or very expensive depending on how long they actually last. I have so far used this sharpener to sharpen 4 kitchen knives in total. 1- 7 inch chefs knife and 3- drop point (similar to santoku) Japanese knives 8inch 7 inch 6 inch. The first knife sharpened was a 7 inch chef knife. It was not dull, but needed to have edges realigned. Started at 20° with the 400 grit diamond side and zero pressure except to keep roller evenly against blade while rolling. Did 30 passes and could feel a burr, but not along entire edge. Flipped and did 30 along other side with same results. Flipped and did another 25 passes, burr along entire edge now. Flipped and need just over 30 passes to feel entire edge long burr. Flipped and did 15 passes, flipped 15, f10,f10,f8,f8,f5,f5,f2,f2,f1,f1. 1000 grit disc 15 passes, flipped 15 passes, f10,f10,f8,f8,f5,f5,f2,f2,f1,f1. Results were amazing. Finished with a few slices down a 3000 grit ceramic rod, 1 edge trailing pass on each side, finished. No pasted leather. It's a knife not a razor. Could easily shave hairs. Easily removed discs to wash and dry. Both discs felt smooth as glass on the side used. Wtf. 1 knife is hardly "years" of wear. The next 2 knives were sharpened to 15° started with the same used disc sides. Knife #2 -8 inch drop point. Had to do nearly 100 passes flipping blade to ensure even wear. I could see black filings but had to flip 400 disc to new side to achieve burr. Once burr was even along both sides I did the reducing number of strokes same as before. Flipped to 1000 grit and finished with 2nd knife with the used 1000 grit. Same amazingly sharp knife results. Nearly 1 hour to sharpen knife #2. Knife #3 -7 inch drop point 15°. Same as knife #2 except had to flip 1000 grit to see results. At least 1 hour very sharp if not amazingly so. Knife #4 -6 inch drop point 20°. Same progression as knife #1 used the stone sides with the most grit feel. Over 1 hour to achieve sharp knife. Not impressed. Knives #1 and #2 are shaving sharp. I know, I sharpen my own straight razors. Both knives will pop hairs. Knives #3 and #4 are sharp. They will pass a thumb nail test, but not pop hairs. I'm not looking for shave sharp, like I said they are knives, not razors. The first 2 got amazing results without much effort, the 1st nearly no effort. But at the cost of well over $$$ for sharpener, the life of diamond sharpening disc should be way longer. If I have to buy new discs already that would mean the sharpener cost almost as much the 4 knives that were sharpened. I have about 8 more knives that I intended to use this sharpener on, but I may have to rethink this. Maybe the discs will go a while yet maintaining the 4 knives that were sharpened, but I doubt that they will be able to realign edges on any other knives the way they are. * as for that base, near perfect could in my opinion be perfect if the large knife side had the same beveled edges as the small knife sides. The 8" drop point knife that I sharpened is not very wide and only sits above the base at the handle. This means that in order to keep blade flex manageable while sharpening the knife needs to attach to the base at a min 1/3 down the blade which means the blade is too short for the holder, but too tall for the small side of the base. If the large side had the same taper off the corners as the small side of the base, this would alleviate most, if not all of the issue. The magnets are more than strong enough to maintain a hold on the large knives if this was done. I will reach out to the manufacturer to see if I recieved defective discs, or if this is natural and knife sharpening with this system is intended to take 1+ hrs per knife. I will update this review in future as I am more than willing to give a fair and accurate review. As things sit at the time of this review, I can only recommend if you have accurately sharpened knives and are looking to maintain for long term. If you are looking to realign your knife edges and resharpen blades fully, I recommend getting your knives sharpened professionally instead. UPDATE: Nov. 22, 2023 I reached out to Hone to inform of my experience. Received a response almost immediately. They assured me that my experience was not the norm, and the sharpening discs must be defective and somehow slipped through quality control. They requested photos to analyze and figure out why they failed so quickly. They have also offered to replace both the 400 and 1000 grit discs free of charge, and are sending additionally the 200 grit diamond disc and the 3000 grit ceramic hone disc as compensation for my troubles. WOW, this is customer service that every company should strive to achieve! They are committed completely to customer satisfaction! Definitely deserve 5 stars for their customer service! With renewed confidence in the Hone Knife Sharpener team, I honestly now recommend this product to all. I look forward to trying out the replacement discs, and hope they perform as intended. I will update again if needed.

I've used several knife sharpeners over the years, but the HONE Knife Sharpener truly stands out for its ease of use and precision. The rolling design allows for a smooth, consistent sharpening motion that ensures your knives are honed to perfection every time. It works on a wide variety of blades, including chef’s knives, cleavers, and most non-serrated edges, giving them a razor-sharp finish with minimal effort. What I love most is how beginner-friendly it is—there's no guesswork. Simply roll it along the blade a few times, and you're good to go. The unique design also makes it easy to store, and it doesn't take up much counter space. Plus, it’s built with high-quality materials, so you can tell it's designed to last. To take your sharpening to the next level, I also highly recommend the HONE Pro Accessories Kit. It includes everything you need to keep your knives razor sharp—additional sharpening discs, and even a leather strop. Another fantastic add-on is the HONE Knife Holder Extension. It provides a longer platform for your knives during the sharpening process, giving you more control and making the sharpening even safer and more efficient. It’s especially useful for longer knives, and makes the process smoother for those who want an extra layer of precision. Overall, if you’re serious about maintaining your knives and want a hassle-free experience, the HONE Knife Sharpener paired with the Pro Accessories Kit and Knife Holder Extension is unbeatable! Highly recommend

Love this product - works well and easy to use. Ive mothballed my Nirey and Lansky sharpeners. The magnets are very strong and the sharpening wheels are reversable for extended life. Also have a 15degree option for my Shun knife - you will not be disappointed with the Hone

The Hone Knife Sharpener System is easy to use and ensures a sharp blade. Maintaining the proper angle on many knife sharpeners is difficult, the Hone System guarantees the proper angle to ensure a sharp blade. They also make a number of accessories such as many grit discs which enhance the sharpening experience. It has ballbearings so the sharpening action is perfectly smooth. I previously purchased a knock off brand and it didn’t have a smooth motion. The Hone System is excellent. I purchased the basic system and the accessories kit and can highly recommend Hone.
