HORL 3 Walnut knife sharpener

HORL 3 walnut knife sharpeners brings more flexibility for individual kitchen requirements. The HORL 3 walnut knife sharpener is a roll-on, multi-purpose sharpener where changing discs is a matter of ... click - clack. The HORL Quick Lock system allows easy and quick changing of sharpening or finishing discs. The magnetic holder for knives allows them to be fixed at sharpening angles of 15° for Japanese knives and Damascus knives or 20° for European knives. Compared to the previous models of HORL 2 knife sharpeners, the new generation HORL 3 comes with a sharpening disc with increased abrasiveness, up to +80% compared to the previous disc. In the knife sharpening process, a very important role is played by the stability of the knife, implicitly of the blade, and of the entire system. The knife fixing devices are incorporated with new, much stronger magnetic grips (+70% compared to the previous generation). The assembly technology of the sharpener and the built-in ball bearings create a feeling of running without play, of stability. 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 remove 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
