Designed by Otmar and Timo Horl, the [knife sharpener](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferfereh) works by holding a blade at a 15-degree angle and propping it up before having the actual sharpener rolled across the edge. This will work to sharpen the blade perfectly, while also eliminating the occurrence of control loss when performing the task. The HORL-1993 Rolling Sharpener is crafted in the family-led studio at the foot of the Black Forest in Germany and, while ideal for [keeping blades perfectly sharp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-knives), is suitable for [advanced or amateur chefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiskars-all-steel-santoku-knife) alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Knife Sharpening Simplified:** The HORL-1993 offers a better, simpler, and safer way of sharpening knives. - **Precision in Knife Sharpening:** The 15-degree angle and rolling sharpener technology guarantees precision in sharpening knives. - **Handcrafted Knife Sharpeners:** The HORL-1993's handmade quality emphasizes consumers' preference for unique and artisanal products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchenware:** Kitchenware companies can invest in innovation in knife sharpening tools and materials that are simpler and safer to use. - **Cutlery:** Cutlery manufacturers can integrate precision technology in their products to cater to the market demand for precision and quality. - **Handcrafted Products:** Craftsmanship-focused industries can leverage the market preference for artisanal and unique products by offering handcrafted knife sharpeners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpeners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamond-rolling-knife-sharpener.md) - [Precision Knife Sharpener Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hapstone-rs-knife-sharpener.md) - [Digitized Knife Sharpeners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/professional-precision-adjust-knife-sharpener.md) - [Fine-Tuned Knife Sharpeners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knife-sharpener.md) - [Premium Sharpening Stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zwilling-sharpening-stone.md) - [Sensibly Sharp Elevated Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-task-knife.md) - [Kitchen Knife Sharpening Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takumi.md) - [Premium Knife Holder Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutluxe-2.md) - [Eternally Sharp Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demoster-bushcraft-knife.md)
