HORL 2 Pro knife sharpener

Knife sharpener HORL 2 PRO is the soul project of Otmar and Timo Horl. HORL 2 PRO knife sharpener is made of aluminum and stainless steel, a planetary gear inside that ensures a transmission speed of 1:3. Compared to other HORL®2 models, it reaches the desired clarity three times faster. The high-quality stainless steel and aluminum components, as well as the dark bronze powder coating, give the latest generation knife sharpener an exclusive look and, at the same time, ensure a unique feeling. HORL 2 PRO knife sharpeners offer the possibility of sharpening at angles of 15° or 20°. The 15° grinding angle offers a delicate grinding and the 20° grinding angle generates a stable, correct sharpening. The diamond grinding disc and the ceramic peeling disc guarantee impressive results. And with the HORL 2 PRO knife sharpener, the grinding discs can be changed (various grinding discs can be obtained as accessories for a fee). The 20° sharpening angle ensures a new, correct and stable cutting edge but in a short time. This means that the knife blade keeps its sharpness for a long period of time and is suitable for a wide variety of cuts in everyday life in the kitchen. The 15° sharpening angle gives the particularly fine blades made of Damascus steel and high-quality carbon steel a delicate, fine sharpening. These knife edges can be ground very finely and keep their stability for a long time. With the HORL® Diamond Standard grinding wheel, high-quality sharpening results are possible in a short time, without the need to use water. The industrial diamonds used in the manufacture of the HORL® Diamond Standard disc are suitable for all knife steels of any hardness and ensure efficient, precise results. In addition, they produce a sharpening pattern that is comparable to the "factory" sharpening of a high quality German kitchen knife. If used correctly, the standard HORL® diamond grinding wheel does not need to be replaced. Industrial diamonds are considered one of the most durable and efficient abrasives available on the market. Monocrystalline diamonds are harder than any knife steel. Using a galvanic process, approximately 55% of HORL® Diamond Standard diamonds are fixed in a bed of nickel. The initially rough surface becomes more refined after the first sanding movements and reaches the working condition that will remain the same from that moment. After using the standard HORL® diamond grinding wheel, the ceramic grinding wheel further refines the grinding result. The integrated grooves ensure a smooth edge of the knife and eliminate the dust resulting from grinding. The combination of strong neodymium magnets and HORL® S-Pad allow the knife to be firmly fixed to the sharpening device. Thanks to the anti-slip effect of the S-Pad, even knives with small (narrow) blades can be sharpened consistently if the sharpener is positioned at the correct height.
