In an electroplating process around 55 % of the diamonds in the HORL ® Diamond Standard are firmly embedded on a nickel plate. Whetstones are the best way to keep the best chef's knives as sharp as the day you first bought them –sharper in fact, if you really know what you're doing. True connoisseurs may crave the Horl 2 Pro, which uses 'planetary gearing' to send its barrel edges whirling around three times faster than by manual rolling alone. Speaking to Horl they seem to pride themselves on the quality of the product and would have no qualms replacing this if there was a defect. If you have watched the whole video you will have seen what I’m going to describe in this section for real.

The version I've been testing is the 'standard' Horl 2, which has an exceedingly pleasing, natural wood finish. Illustrated below is the angle the roller needs to be moved to sharpen this knife all the way to the tip.It takes up to 5 minutes to sharpen a knife on a HORL sharpener for the first time, as the knife has to ‘learn’ the 20° or 15° angle set by the magnetic support. To remove grinding residue of the diamond and ceramic discs, cleaning with a pencil eraser is sufficient. Its integrated grooves ensure a smooth knife edge and eliminate any loose metal particles that remain. Made of aluminium and stainless steel, the planetary gearing inside provides a transmission ratio of 1:3. For example, if your knife is very dull but not chipped, up to a minute of sharpening with the standard diamond stone should be enough to sharpen a knife on the HORL 2 or HORL 2 Cruise; it will take a third of that time with the HORL 2 Pro.

The industrial diamonds in the disc are suitable for steels of any hardness used for knives and ensure efficient, precise results. Stones less than 1000 in grit are used for repairing blades with nicks and chips, while 1000–3000 is used to sharpen dull knives and anything above 3000 is for refining an edge. For this review, on test are the HORL 2 sharpener with add-on Premium Sharpening kit plus the storage block.When sharpening a knife for the first time with it, you will need to roll it up and down along the edge of your knife for several minutes. Therfore, it is worthwhile to sharpen your knives once with the sharpener and the Magentic-Angle-Support to a constant grinding angle which can be reproduced with each sharpening process. I felt confident that I couldn't mess up my blade's edge, and the end results have been uniformly impressive, on everything from cheapo German utility knives to expensive Japanese ones made of Damascus steel.

Shorter / narrower blades (paring knives or pocket knives) need very careful positioning on the angle block. The Milky Plant is an all-in-one blender and strainer with one job – to make excellent plant milk– but how does it compete with cheaper alternatives? For knives that have been sharpened freely by hand until now, the angle usually varies after each sharpening. Just make sure to repeat the same motion and repetitions on the other side of the blade’s edge for consistency. The first thing that struck me getting it out of the box was the weight of the Horl 2, which is heavier (in a good way) than I expected.It’s like having the ease, speed and definition of a pull-through sharpener, but the versatility and relative gentleness of a whetstone.
