A blunt knife slides where it should slice. The Honvik four-angle rolling sharpener in walnut brings the edge back with two diamond discs: 400 grit to restore it, then 1000 grit to refine it.
The magnetic base holds the blade steady, so the angle is the same on every pass. Each side is marked with its angle: use 15° for thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives, 20° for most kitchen knives and 22° for thick, heavy blades.
This model pairs a base topped in walnut with a smooth, warm brown roller.
In the box: the brown roller with its 400 and 1000 grit diamond discs, and the four-angle magnetic base. A free sharpening guide is sent by email with your order.
Good to know: for plain-edged (straight-edged) kitchen knives. Not for serrated or ceramic blades. A very narrow blade may not stand clear of the base.
Delivery: free to UK addresses, in 7 to 10 working days. Delivery details.
Returns: you have 30 days from delivery to send it back, unused. Returns and refunds.
Guarantee: 2 years, in addition to your statutory rights.
1. Wipe the blade clean and dry. Put the base on a flat, dry worktop.
2. Choose your angle: 15° for thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives, 20° for most kitchen knives, 22° for thick, heavy blades. Not sure? Start with 20°.
3. Rest the flat of the blade against the side of the base marked with that angle, edge facing up. The magnets hold it in place.
4. Hold the base still with one hand. Roll the 400 grit disc back and forth along the edge, from heel to tip, with light pressure.
5. Turn the knife round and do the other side, at the same angle and with the same number of passes.
6. Turn the roller round and repeat on both sides with the 1000 grit disc.
7. Test the edge on a sheet of paper held upright. If it catches or tears, make a few more passes on each side with the 1000 grit disc.
8. Wipe the blade clean before you cook with it, and wipe the discs with a dry cloth.
Keep your fingers on the roller and away from the edge while you roll. The free sharpening guide shows each step.

How it works
The base holds your knife at the angle you choose while you roll the sharpening disc along the edge.

Rest the blade against the side of the base marked with your angle. Magnets hold it there.

Roll the disc along the edge, then turn the knife and do the other side.

Your knife cuts cleanly again.
Why it works
The hard part of sharpening is keeping the same angle from heel to tip. The magnetic base does that for you, at the angle that suits your knife.

The discs
The lower the number, the coarser the disc. Start with 400 grit to bring a blunt edge back, then move to 1000 grit to smooth and refine it. Always in that order.
Yes. The magnetic base holds the blade at the angle you choose, so all you do is roll. A free sharpening guide arrives by email with your order.
Only the finish. The four angles, the magnetic base and the two discs work the same way. This one has a walnut top on the base and a warm brown roller; the others come in a light wood or a black finish.
Use 20° for most kitchen knives. Use 15° for a finer edge on thin blades, 18° for small everyday knives and 22° for thick, heavy blades. Not sure? Start with 20°.
Plain-edged kitchen knives, such as chef's knives, carving knives and utility knives. It is not for serrated knives, such as bread knives, or for ceramic blades. A very narrow blade may not stand clear of the base.
Each grit has its job: 400 grit restores a blunt edge and 1000 grit refines it, always in that order. Discs wear in time, like any sharpening surface. Spare 400 and 1000 grit discs are sold separately, so you replace a disc and keep the sharpener.
Delivery is free in the UK and takes 7 to 10 working days. If you change your mind, you have 30 days to send it back unused, and it comes with a 2-year guarantee.
