Horl 2 roller grinders walnut and magnetic grinding gauge

Product Information

Timo and Otmar Horl, the father-and-son duo behind HORL 1993 had a singular vision: bring professional standards of knife sharpening to the home cook, simplified.

The HORL 2 comprises of two parts: a magnetic angle support bar and the roller which houses the discs. Inside the box are a couple of printed guides, and the two main components, the rolling sharpener and the magnetic guide block. If necessary, the diamond grinding disc can be unscrewed and thoroughly washed in warm water, with a little washing-up liquid and a brush. The HORL 2 PRO Knife sharpener is constructed out of premium wood that has been dried in special ovens up to 7-8% humidity to guarantee maximum quality. It is something that I would definitely be happy sitting on my kitchen work surface rather than shoved away in a drawer, like other knife sharpeners I own.I took the time to learn the basics of using a sharpening stone, but (and perhaps I shouldn’t admit this as the editor of a food site) I’ve always found it to be a chore I’d rather avoid. Finally with the grooved ceramic stone of the HORL 2 and the tip of a knife with a curve there is a possibility of the edge catching into the groove. Their surface, which is rough to begin, is refined during the first grinding procedure and it retains this condition from then on. The Horl 2 Cruise consists of a barrel shaped, two-sided sharpening device and a magnetic angled knife holder block. You can 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.

Horl also offers a number of video tutorials to help you when using the product for the first time but it really is very easy. To sharpen Japanese-style knives or use interchangeable discs, see our Horl 2 or Horl 2 Pro knife sharpeners.If you love sharpening your knives with a whetstone, the Horl is not likely to improve your current situation. This was because I was nervous about my knife sharpening skills and was concerned about damaging them. On one side of the Horl 2 is the Diamond Grinding Wheel, which when used properly, never has to be replaced.

HORL 1993 are creating a revolution in sharpening with their innovative line of rolling knife sharpeners. A 3000-grit whetstone style disc that is compatible with the Horl2 and the Horl2 Pro to give an extra level of sharpness.

I’ve used this sharpening system for several months to keep my knives sharp and the results have been good and consistent.

The company makes the less expensive Horl 2 Cruise, but it only sharpens at a 20 degree angle; giving up the 15 degree angle is a notable sacrifice. Ceramic Honing Disc After processing with the HORL ® Diamond Standard, the ceramic honing disc significantly refines the grinding result. When you sharpen your knife with a 'normal' sharpening stone, you move the knife over a sharpening stone. marawinebar made the wise decision and invested in our Essential Starter Set 💪 The set is made up from a Petty 120mm, a Petty 150mm and a Santoku 180mm from our Kinder range.

Also, the 20° grinding angle produces fast sharpening results and a stable cutting edge with long-lasting sharpness.
