A GUT FEELING AS RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Our story began with a good instinct and a lot of imagination. And ultimately the gut feeling that something great can come out of a simple idea. Because no one was asking for a novel knife sharpener.
Timo's and Otmar's design and construction skills initially gave rise to the first generation of sharpeners, but they subsequently moved the business from their cellar workshop and the company now occupies two office locations in Freiburg.
Together with our growing team, we continue to write the HORL® story and are delighted to inspire more and more people nationally and internationally.
THE HORL® SHARPENER
No one wants to sharpen knives, but everyone wants sharp knives. Well almost. Actually, we want both! The new sharpeners from HORL® convince with their stylish design, easy use and impressive sharpening results.
FROM THE BLACK FOREST TO KITCHENS AROUND THE WORLD.
We love products that function, are stylish and feel good every time they are used. With our HORL® range, we aim to evoke experiences, ignite enthusiasm and provide wow moments. We want to enrich people's lives and become an established feature in the kitchens of the world.
WITH A PASSION FOR UNSTINTING QUALITY
With our sharpeners, we want to make it possible for everyone to sharpen knives so that using them becomes a real pleasure. Our aim is no-compromise when it comes to quality and to create products that will serve their owners for a long time.
The „HORL® - Principle“
Position the knife. Grind. Hone. This is the simple grinding principle of the HORL® Sharpener. A new knife sharpening method is being redefined with the rotating diamond grinding disc which is guided gently along the cutting edge with a constant grinding angle. This combination guarantees an especially even and reproducible sharpening result for your favourite knives.
ALWAYS A CONSTANT GRINDING ANGLE
The grinding angle is the key factor in knife sharpening. The more consistently it is reproduced, the more precise and lasting the results are. Once sharpened, the knife is always positioned at exactly the same sharpening angle by the Angle Support which ensures fast resharpening, minimum material removal and a long service life for kitchen knives.
Securely held with the HORL® 2 Angle Support
The combination of strong neodymium magnets and the HORL® S-Pad make it possible to securely fix the knife during grinding. Strengthened by the anti-slip effect of the S-Pads, even small blades of any desired height can be consistently and reproducibly sharpened.
PRECISION FROM THE BLACK FOREST
The HORL® 1993 headquarters is located in our German hometown of Freiburg im Breisgau. All of our partner companies from wood and metal production to laser engraving and final assembly are all located close by in the Black Forest. Short distances and direct communication guarantee the best quality of all components.
