HORL 2 Walnut Rolling Knife Sharpener for Straight Edge

From the brand, HORL, we present the HORL 2 sharpening system, which offers a range of features to cater to your knife sharpening needs. The HORL 2 is available in three models: Walnut, Oak, and Pro.

The HORL 2 Walnut, Oak, and Pro models share several key features:

1. Diamond Standard: The sharpening discs are equipped with industrial-grade diamonds, providing a durable and efficient abrasive surface for sharpening knives of any hardness, including European kitchen knives, hard or soft steel, stainless and rust-resistant steels, and outdoor knives.

2. Ceramic Honing Disk: The sharpening system incorporates a ceramic honing disk that helps to refine and polish the knife edge, resulting in a sharp and long-lasting edge.

3. Two Angles: The HORL 2 offers two interchangeable sharpening angles: 15° and 20°. The 15° angle is ideal for creating a finely honed, razor-sharp edge, perfect for tasks such as sushi, sashimi, and working with Damascus knives or high-carbon steel blades. The 20° angle is suitable for robust cutting tasks in the kitchen and beyond, resulting in a durable and long-lasting edge.

4. Changeable Disks: The disks can be easily swapped, allowing users to customize the sharpening process to their specific needs.

5. Planetary Gearing: The sharpening mechanism utilizes a planetary gearing system, ensuring a smooth and consistent sharpening experience.

When it comes to the longevity of the diamond discs, the HORL Diamond Standard does not need to be replaced when used properly. To check if the desired sharpening angle has been reached, the "marker pen method" can be used, where a felt-tip marker is drawn along the entire knife edge, leaving ink on both sides.

No water is required when sharpening knives with the HORL 2, as the smooth rolling movements do not generate significant heat, and the diamond coating is designed to be used dry.

On average, it takes approximately five minutes to sharpen a knife to the desired level of sharpness. The initial sharpening process requires the edge to acquire the chosen 15° or 20° grinding angle, but subsequent resharpening can be achieved with just a few rolls back and forth, thanks to the consistent grinding angle.

In summary, the HORL 2 sharpening system offers a versatile and efficient solution for keeping your knives in optimal condition, catering to a wide range of blade types and sharpening preferences.
