Horl 2 Grinder Walnut

The Horl 2 sharpeners; our favorite sharpener

We were skeptical at first, but it turned out to be unjustified. The Horl sharpeners not only look beautiful, they also work very easily. Highly recommended for those who want to make their knives sharp, but don't want to sharpen on stones themselves.

• Sharpens at angles of 15 & 20 degrees
• Diamond disc (46 μm j400 grit) & ceramic disc (j1000 grit)
• Durable because the discs are replaceable
• Magnetic holder for the perfect angles

The Horl 2 sharpener consists of 2 parts. The first part is the holder that keeps your knives at the right angle. With this model, you have the choice between the European angle (20 degrees) and the Japanese (15 degrees). Slide the knife against the holder and the strong magnet will keep it from shifting.

The second part is the sharpener itself. It has 2 sides with different coarseness. For example, the first side is a grinding wheel made of diamond powder. Due to a special processing, this powder stays on the disc and is therefore durable.

On the other side is a ceramic disc for polishing. This makes your knife razor razor-sharp. Do you want even sharper? Then expand the set with the extra fine ceramic discs.

You use the sharpener by rolling it along the knife. This always gives the knife the right pressure during sharpening and also prevents you from accidentally scratching the knife. After a few back and forth movements, the knife is already sharp again. This system works so nicely that it should even be allowed to last a little longer because you want to keep going.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a better manual sharpener than the Minosharp.
