Sharpening knives at home with good results has never been so easy as with Horl! No more anxiety and worries about poorly maintained knives, there is nothing to blame anymore. Horl makes knife sharpening a breeze and anyone who ever handles a knife in the kitchen much happier!
Horl knife sharpeners have long been a favorite of ours at the Kitchen Lab, both with customers and staff. Thanks to a magnetic backing, you have a constant sharpening angle on the knife's edge as you smoothly and precisely, but effortlessly, sharpen a knife using the roll of sharpening wheels. Now they have released their long-awaited generation 3!
The Horl 3 Pro is the jewel among smooth knife sharpeners! This elegant member of the Horl family is the Zidane of knife sharpeners, but without the stubborn rattling and lagging. Just like its predecessors, the method is that you attach a knife with the edge upwards to one side of the magnetic holder. Horl's pro models are distinguished by their ball bearing, which gives 3x gear on the speed of the grinding wheels in relation to how you roll and is almost exciting to even feel. In relation to the Horl 2 Pro, it has also improved in terms of angles. The previous generation had two sides with different angles, one at 20° which matches the sharpening angle of traditional European knives, and one at 15° which is standard on Japanese knives. Now you can set the angle of the support and therefore choose between 6 different angles and thus get your knife exactly as you want it with constant results. Well between 10°, 13°, 15°, 22° or 25° - almost as if it were a wine fridge or root cellar or something. Thanks to the magnetic support, the angle is fixed and constant throughout the sharpening process, so you don't have to concentrate on being consistent in how you hold the knife against the grinding stone. Simply bring the roller against the edge of the knife and roll back and forth to methodically and accurately bring back the sharpness of your cooking. The ball bearing, as mentioned, provides a gear ratio times three and cannot be described in any other way than as a complete pleasure.
On the roller itself, there are two sides to choose from. One side has a diamond grinding wheel that is effective at grinding and is used for a coarser grind or to produce a rough edge. Compare this to a coarse grinding stone (or coarse sandpaper if you have no previous knife sharpening experience). This side is suitable for use when the knife really needs sharpening.
The other side has a ceramic whetstone. It is used to finish sharpening and polish the edge after the rough treatment with the diamond wheel. Compare with a finer grinding stone (or finer sandpaper). This side can be used without first giving the diamond treatment and is a good way to maintain your knife. Use the fine side monthly, weekly or daily to keep your knife in tip-top shape! A very lame, but telling comparison could be that the fine side is to shower your hair while the coarse side is to go to the hairdresser.
For those who wish, there are also opportunities to dive even deeper and use different types of grinding stones and coarseness to really get a perfect edge on the knife. Changing the grinding stone was also possible on the Horl 2, but with the Horl 3 it is now easier than ever. With the new Quick-lock system, you can easily put on and take off different sharpening wheels, making it incredibly easy to immerse yourself in sharpening your knife to perfection. These new Quick-lock sharpening wheels are suitable for Horl 3 and Horl 3 Pro and are not compatible with previous generations or Horl 3 Cruise. The sharpening wheels for Horl 2 do not work with Horl 3 either.
The magnets on the magnetic holder have also been updated compared to the previous generation and the knives are now up to 70% firmer on the respective angle.
The package includes a magnetic support with adjustable angle and a roll of diamond and ceramic grinding wheels. Additional grinding wheels are purchased separately.The Horl 3 Pro has an aluminim body in a stylish bronze finish. Further variants of the Horl generation 3 include the Horl 3 Cruise and Horl 3 which both have different specifications.
