Funny thing is that I bought a Horl 2 sharpener a few years ago, and when these seemingly official Tumbler sharpeners came on the market, I started having doubts about whether I had actually bought a copy rather than the original design. Glad to hear that my initial purchase was from the original designers of the product, and got a finer quality sharpener to boot!

Was very interesting to watch your video! I actually grew up with Timo Horl, we were neighbors. Can confirm he and Ottmar (his father) are not in any kind connected with the Tumbler guy 😉 Initially, his father was already working on this rolling sharpener when we were still kids - but it actually was Timo picking up on the project much later again and bringing it to the market in the end as you can now buy it.

As a serial knife sharpener buyer who ironically acknowledges that a brick will sharpen a knife, I can only say…thank you!

I got the HORL knife sharpener for Christmas two years ago. Still sharpening knives real good. Recommend it even.

13:00 you gotta love that sunk cost fallacy, haha! "I already spent money on it, so I want it to be good! Even if it's not!"

the investigative journalism aspect to these videos is highly underrated....

I was seeing too many vids of these Tumblers being so perfect it quickly turned my interest to scepticism. Glad i watched this.

First time viewer of your channel. Good to see a reviewer doing it well. Demonstrating your knowledge and increasing my own understanding of knife sharpening Plus getting to the bottom of the Horl mystery. Thumbs up from me!

Thanks for reviewing this these. I’ve been curious about them. I appreciate that you give honest commentary and dont try to get your viewers to buy anything. You give us facts and maybe an opinion but you never try to sell us stuff. I appreciate that and your informative content. Thanks again and please keep up the great work.

Man, I love it when you debunk b/s in the knife sharpening world! Was so much fun watching the video, despite already knowing what you will most likely say. Cheers!

I own the Horl and have purchased two of their finer grit disks to use with it and it's phenomenal however it (and many of the knock-offs) could be improved. If you have a knife with a wide blade it's necessary to place the roller on top of something of the correct thickness in order to sharpen the wider blade. This problem would be addressed by making a simple change to the magnetic blade holder. If you flip it over and raise it up by, say, an inch (you can glue a block to it) you can now attach a blade of any width, with the sharp edge down and slightly above the rolling surface. Another advantage of this flipped position is that it's safer - the sharp edge is down and not up - and you won't cut yourself if your hand slips off the roller.

$100 is so much man. If you’re at the point where you’re comfortable with spending $100 on sharpening tools, then you might as well learn how to use stones 😭😭😭

I’m a blacksmith (not a blade smith, but I do make knives, axes, and swords) and I just found your channel. I am going to look at your other videos because I have sharpened blades on bricks before but have never seen anyone else do it! Instant fan.

Holy shit you actually finally uploaded a video about these knife sharpeners. I've been holding out on buying them for two months now hoping that their suddenly popularity will cause you to make a video covering them. Thanks for the video, lol.

I wanted to explore the rolling sharpeners and opted to go with the worksharp version. The main reasons were that it offered 4 angles (not 2) and also had 3 grit sizes (320, 600 & ceramic). These were really well on medium to large kitchen knives, however like you discovered in the video, smaller paring knives, or even edc knives don't work as well as you cannot get fully to the hilt. So for kitchen knives, the WS version is excellent.....I will see over time how the grits bed in. good to see an independent video on stuff like this.

I am really impressed at how you used a brick to get to hair shaving sharpness. I used to try that when I was a kid with an old pocket knife my dad gave me. All these years I thought I had been doing the wrong thing. Also, I've never thought of Ben Hur as a movie tp sharpen knives by. Btw, I trust your conclusions.

No one mentioned the fact that this man literally made a butter knife shaving sharp on a brick lmao

You’re still the king of knife sharpness .

One thing I like about your videos is that, not only are they informative, they are also quite entertaining - sometimes downright hilarious 😂🤣😂. Love your sense of humor ! Thanks !
