HORL®2 Pro is the masterwork of Otmar and Timo Horl. Made of aluminium and stainless steel, the planetary gearing inside provides a transmission ratio of 1:3. Compared to our other HORL®2 models, it effectively achieves the desired sharpness three times as fast. With high-quality stainless steel and aluminium components as well as the dark bronze powder coating give this premium knife sharpener an elegant look and at the same time a unique feel.
The basis for comparison by microscope is the ex-works grind of a standard high-quality kitchen knife.
Corresponds to the grinding result from using the HORL®2 Pro.
With the HORL® standard diamond grinding disc, a high-quality sharpening result is quickly possible without the use of water. The industrial diamonds in the disc are suitable for steels of any hardness used for knives and ensure efficient, precise results. In addition, they produce a grinding pattern that is equivalent to the "ex works" grind of a high-quality German kitchen knife. Used properly the HORL® standard diamond grinding disc should not need replacing.
After use of the HORL® diamond grinding disc, the ceramic honing disc further refines the grinding result! Its integrated grooves ensure a smooth knife edge and eliminate any loose metal particles that remain.
The 20° grinding angle provides new sharpness and a robust cutting edge in a short time. This means the knife retains its sharpness for a long time and is suitable for a wide variety of everyday uses in the kitchen. It also gives many outdoor pocket knives a sturdy edge and excellent sharpness for everyday use.
With the 15° grinding angle, particularly fine blades made of Damascus or high-quality carbon steel can be given filigree sharpness. Such knives can be sharpened very finely and they retain their stability.
Industrial diamonds are considered one of the most durable and efficient abrasives available. The monocrystalline diamonds we use are harder than any knife steel. In an electroplating process around 55 % of the diamonds in the HORL® Diamond Standard are firmly embedded on a nickel plate. Their surface, which is rough to begin, is refined during the first grinding procedure and it retains this condition from then on.
The combination of strong neodymium magnets and the HORL® silicone S-Pad ensures the blade is securely held by the magnetic angle support. Due to the anti-slip properties of the S-Pad, even narrow blades can be sharpened consistently and reproducibly at the required height.
