How does a knife sharpener work?
A knife sharpener actually works quite simply: you pass the knife along a sharpening surface at a certain angle, grinding off a thin layer of steel from the blade. This can be done with a pull-through sharpener or with a rolling knife sharpener like the HORL where your knife is automatically given the right angle. The idea is always the same: making your knife properly sharp again with minimal effort.
