The sharpener for those who place extreme demands on their knives. The planetary gears inside make sharpening three times faster and you gain maximum flexibility with a choice of two grinding angles and exchangeable discs. This enables you to get the very best from all your knives.
Warning notices & safety informationHORL®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 standard diamond disc is pre-installed on all HORL® sharpeners. You can use it to grind knives of any hardness efficiently and give them a high-quality sharpness. This is ensured by its extremely durable block diamonds.
After using the standard diamond disc, the ceramic honing disc removes any burr and refines the grinding result. Its integrated grooves remove grinding dust from the blade and in this way ensure a smooth edge.
The 20° grinding angle ensures a long-lasting sharpness for everyday use on sturdy blades such as European chef's knives. The 20° angle will also give outdoor and pocket knives a robust cutting edge.
The 15° grinding angle gives particularly fine blades made from high-quality carbon or Damascus steel a filigree sharpness. High levels of hardness in such steels allow a knife edge to be sharpened very finely.
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.
HORL®2 models have a screw lock, while HORL®3 models are equipped with Quick Lock. When ordering discs, make sure you choose those that fit your model of sharpener. This enables you to discover even higher levels of sharpness using our accessories.
