Horl 2 roller grinders walnut and magnetic grinding gauge

Product Information

The HORL ® 2 Pro is the dream come true of Otmar and Timo Horl. From the fascination for watch movements and the passion to surprise with product developments, the highly technical knife sharpener was created. I have a couple of ‘traditional’ knife sharpeners, where you have fine and coarse slots you run your knife along, before finishing the process with a knife sharpening rod. The Horl 2 is nothing like these sharpeners and is very unique and I would also argue very innovative. It's a bit of a sad state of affairs that I own a superb set of whetstones from Tog Knives, but I don't quite feel qualified to use them. Whetstones are the best way to keep the best chef's knives as sharp as the day you first bought them –sharper in fact, if you really know what you're doing. I'm just not dextrous or patient enough to maintain my knives in the style of Rambo in a training montage, however. The Horl 2 is really well built and feels like a quality product. It is really easy to use and the end results are exactly what you would expect. The price may put you off, but this is a quality product made in Germany and will help you maintain your knife sets, that you may have made a significant investment in. If you buy this product I don’t think you would be disappointed.

HORL 2 Sharpener / Walnut | Borough Kitchen HORL 2 Sharpener / Walnut | Borough Kitchen

An efficient, effective, and truly unique knife sharpener suitable for both Western and Japanese blades. This advanced model has a planetary wheel mechanism that lets it work 3x faster. It is hard to over-emphasise just how satisfying this process is. I felt confident that I couldn't mess up my blade's edge, and the end results have been uniformly impressive, on everything from cheapo German utility knives to expensive Japanese ones made of Damascus steel. Among other things, magnets can damage bank cards, pacemakers, mobile phones or other electronic devices The premium sharpness set, delivered with the corundum whetstones #3000 and #6000 as well as the HORL ® leather, additionally refines the grinding pattern of the HORL ® diamond grinding wheel and ensures exceptional sharpness.

It is very easy to bump the sharpening stone into the knife bolster or handle. I use masking tape to protect these areas from damage. Subsequently, you can sharpen or hone with just a few passes, particularly if you're going for a 'little and often' approach to blade maintenance. It could be that your knife needs a coarser-grit stone, as that tends to be the case for extremely dull knives. The standard diamond stone of the HORL has an approximate grit of #420; as this is a low grit and diamonds are exceptionally hard, over one minute of using this stone should sharpen an extremely dull knife. However, if you find that is not working well, you can use the even coarser Coarse Diamond Stone Attachment (compatible with HORL 2 and HORL 2 Pro models only), which has an approximate grit of #200. Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years.

Clean the diamond grinding disc with an eraser to remove dust or for larger deposits, soak the surfaces in a hot water bath with dishwashing liquid and remove with a brush There are two parts to every HORL sharpener: a bar that sets the angle, called the angle support, and a roller with a coarse sharpening disc on one end and a finer honing disc on the other, called the sharpener. Set a knife’s blade, upturned, against the side of the angle support. Sharpening happens in three steps:In terms of time, the estimate of 1 to 5 minutes is really spot on and the results are fantastic. I did all my knives in one sitting and found it a pretty relaxing process.
