$140.00
HORL®2 Cruise is the all-rounder at sharpening knives for everyday use. With a constant 20° grinding angle and proven combination of diamonds and stainless steel, it ensures precise grinding results every time. The simple chalk painted finish makes the sharpener an eye-catcher in any kitchen. Made for robust, long-lasting sharpness.
The basis for comparison by microscope is the ex-works grind of a standard high-quality kitchen knife.
Corresponds to the grinding result from using the HORL®2 Cruise standard diamond grinding disc and HORL® Stainless steel honing disc.
With the HORL® standard diamond grinding disc, a high-quality sharpening result is quickly possible without the use of water. The industrial diamonds in the disc are suitable for steels of any hardness used for knives and ensure efficient, precise results. In addition, they produce a grinding pattern that is equivalent to the "ex works" grind of a high-quality German kitchen knife. Used properly the HORL® standard diamond grinding disc should not need replacing.
After grinding, with just a few movements the stainless-steel honing disc smooths the cutting edge of the knife by virtue of its integrated grooves. It also eliminates any loose metal particles that remain after the grinding process. The stainless-steel honing disc of the HORL®2 Cruise is not interchangeable.
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 20° grinding angle provides new sharpness and a robust cutting edge in a short time. This means the knife retains its sharpness for a long time and is suitable for a wide variety of everyday uses in the kitchen. It also gives many outdoor pocket knives a sturdy edge and excellent sharpness for everyday use.
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.
