Pros and amateur cooks – they all love sharp knives! They regard them as the Holy Grail, and sharpening as an art that you don’t give to just anyone – and yet, it is often merely an onerous duty. The solution is the HORL 2 Pro sharpener, which gives you perfect results with little effort required. And at three times the usual speed. Otmar and Timo Horl have developed a knife grinding machine with an internal planetary gear, which is both highly precise and very easy to use. The father and son team are launching a premium product onto the market, which is suitable for the most elegant kni-ves and meets the highest requirements.
Just like its predecessors, the HORL 2 Pro is extremely easy to use: effortless movements ensure gentle, even and reproducible sharpening with the characteristic sharp finish – that’s the HORL principle. The 2 Pro will win you over with its refined gear in which a triple grinding movement is generated by a single rolling motion, creating maximum grinding speed. The rotating diamond grinding disc contains mono-crystal industrial diamonds that are suitable for all knife steels and degrees of hardness. It grinds efficiently and precisely without water and lasts a lifetime. You simply turn the sharpener once and the blade can be honed with the ceramic disc. This refines the result even further and the edge is smooth and clean after only a few movements. The grinding support at an angle of 15° and 20°, which is included in the delivery, is essential for perfect sharpening. The knives – even small ones – are securely fixed thanks to the integrated magnets, and the angle remains constant during sharpening. The 20° angle ensures rapid sharpening and long-lasting sharpness. The 15° angle is ideal for the most delicate blades, such as those made of Damascus steel. Why is this important? Here’s just one example: clean cuts on fruit and vegetables prevent rapid oxidation and help retain their freshness. The solid housing, made of stainless steel and aluminium components, not only looks good but allows the sharpener to be used in professional kitchens, unlike wood. The HORL 2 Pro gives a new generation grinding result, turning the previously onerous task of sharpening into an experience.
