Ive tried a variety of beginner knife sharpening methods over the years, including pull throughs, whetstones, the rod systems. Never found them beginner friendly and had a hard time maintaining a consistent angle. Therefore i was really interested in rolling knife sharpeners. I looked around for a while and watch a lot of youtube videos before I found the Hone. It looked well made and so i gave it a shot. I just got it and have already sharpened half of my kitchen knives. It is so easy to set up and use. It is well packaged and well made. It feels great in your hand and rolls very smoothly. The magnets hold the knife securely. The feature for small knives is very well designed. I love the idea of having interchangeable discs. Overall a very well built and designed quality product with a fair price especially compared to others on the market. Read more

This sharpener is by far the best I have ever used for kitchen knives! I sharpen chisels, hand planes, saw blades and other tools on a regular basis and have diamond disks, diamond plates, ceramic plates and water stones of all shapes and sizes. I even have a $800 Tormek T-8 water cooled grinding wheel. With all those tools, I have never gotten my knives as sharp as I did with the Hone. It holds the cutting angle perfectly, its easy to set up, its simple to use and stores away neatly in a small corner of the drawer so I don't have to go to the shop to sharpen my kitchen knives.. It is extremely well made. I confess that I also got the ceramic stone as an add on and, in my opinion, its well the few extra bucks. CAUTION: BEWARE OF RAZOR SHARP KITCHEN KNIVES! Read more

Did a good amount of research on these sharpening wheels after the Tumbler and a few others started popping up all over social media. As a chef I swear by my whetstones when it comes to really fine sharpening my damascus or german steel. Which as most know is time consuming, tedious and while very satisfying when done correctly; one can also completely ruin their knives if done incorrectly. So the idea of something that can do the work of the whetstone, faster and more efficiency is a cool idea. When it comes to sharpening the angle at which the blade is sharpened at is really important, so the magnets/angle hold were in my opinion what i looked for as mattering most. The Hone sharpener got the best reviews when it came to this feature so i went with it and have been very impressed! Holds both large and small knives perfectly in place at either 15 or 20 angles (can buy attachments to make for fine tuned angles as well!) allowing the honing discs to do their work. 400 grit will put a new edge on very dull knives and will fix small kicks too with a little extra work. The 1000 grit disc polishes and hones to a near razor edge. Unless your knife is extremely dull the 1000 grit wheel should be all you need to sharpen your knife. Great product! Quality of materials used and design are strong here. Maybe a little expensive than some, cheaper than others but better magnetic material then most im thinking. Quality enough for a professional chef. Easy enough for a home cook wants sharp knives who either doesn’t have/feel comfortable with whetstones yet or just wants to ensure they’re getting the right angles on their knife’s edge. Great buy Read more

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 Read more

It's ok. Not really worth $100+, especially with so many other methods of knife sharpening available. Read more
