HORL 3 Premium Set

Fine and Extra Fine whetstones plus the HORL Leather, for refining an already sharpened edge

The HORL 3 Premium Set takes a properly sharpened knife beyond the standard diamond-and-ceramic finish with two progressively finer whetstones and a vegetable-tanned leather strop. It is the complete refinement set for HORL 3 owners who want a smoother edge, lower cutting resistance, and a cleaner final finish.

HORL 3 Premium Set

Two Whetstones, Fine Then Extra Fine

Start with the HORL 3 Whetstone Fine at 3000 grit, then move to the Whetstone Extra Fine at 6000 grit. Both corundum whetstones are used dry and are intended for an edge that has already been sharpened and freed of its burr. The two stages progressively smooth the cutting edge rather than replacing the initial sharpening process.

HORL 3 Premium Set

The HORL Leather Finishes the Edge

The HORL Leather completes the sequence. Its finely pored vegetable-tanned cowhide removes residual grinding particles and any remaining burr without requiring honing compound. HORL manufactures the Premium Set with regional partners in the Black Forest, including the specially developed whetstone materials and hand-finished leather edges.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Which HORL sharpeners does the Premium Set fit?

The two whetstones fit the HORL 3 Oak, HORL 3 Walnut and HORL 3 Pro. They do not fit the HORL 3 Cruise or HORL 2. The HORL Leather works with any knife.

What order should I use the HORL 3 Premium Set in?

Refine the sharpened edge first with the 3000 grit Fine whetstone, then the 6000 grit Extra Fine whetstone, and finish with the HORL Leather.

Does the Premium Set replace the standard diamond and ceramic discs?

No. It is a refinement system used after the basic edge has already been established and honed.

Do the whetstones need to be soaked?

No. HORL specifies that both whetstones are used dry.

Does the leather require honing compound?

No. HORL designed the leather to be used without additional honing compound.

What does the leather do after the whetstones?

Its finely pored surface removes residual grinding particles and remaining burr to leave the edge smooth and clean.
