HORL Magnifier

3.5x magnifier for inspecting the grinding pattern and burr on a sharpened edge

The HORL Magnifier gives you a close view of the knife edge so you can see what is happening during sharpening instead of judging progress only by feel. Its 3.5x magnification makes the grinding pattern visible and helps you check whether a burr remains or the edge has reached the finish you want.

HORL 3 Magnifier

Most Useful Between Stages

This is especially useful when establishing a new angle or working through HORL’s finer whetstone stages, where changes to the bevel become increasingly subtle. The magnifier does not change the sharpening process. It simply gives you a better way to inspect the result.

Glass Lens, Brass Body
