HORL®3 Diamond – Standard

Product description

The HORL3 Diamond Standard is the standard diamond sharpening disc for the HORL3 sharpening system. This disc is fitted as standard on all HORL3 sharpeners and is suitable for sharpening knives made from a wide range of steel types and hardnesses.

Thanks to the diamond coating, you can efficiently sharpen a new, sharp edge whilst minimising unnecessary material removal as much as possible. This makes this wheel ideal for routine maintenance and restoring the basic sharpness of your kitchen knives.

For daily sharpening maintenance

The Diamond Standard is designed for regular sharpening.

Use this wheel, for example, for:

• kitchen knives that have become blunt
• periodic sharpening maintenance
• restoring the edge
• knives of varying steel hardnesses
• creating an even basic sharpness

For very blunt or slightly damaged knives, the HORL3 Diamond Coarse is quicker, as it has a coarser diamond structure and removes more material.

Block Diamonds

HORL uses what are known as Block Diamonds on this disc. According to HORL, these remove up to 80% more steel than the standard diamond disc from the HORL2 generation.

As a result, the HORL3 Diamond Standard sharpens faster and produces a more even sharpening pattern.

Material-saving grinding

Although the disc grinds efficiently, it has been developed to strike a good balance between grinding speed and material retention.

This makes it the logical choice for regular maintenance, whilst the Coarse version is primarily intended for corrective work and very blunt blades.

HORL Quick Lock

The wheel is fitted with the HORL Quick Lock system.

This allows you to easily unscrew the grinding wheel and replace it with another HORL3 wheel, such as a finer grinding or polishing wheel.

Long service life

During the first few sharpening sessions, a few excess diamond particles may come loose. According to HORL, this is normal.

After this running-in phase, the disc reaches its optimum grit size. This is then maintained during normal use. According to HORL, the disc does not normally need to be replaced when used correctly.

Manufactured in the Black Forest

HORL has both the milling of the stainless steel backing and the application of the diamond coating carried out by regional production partners in the Black Forest area of Germany.
