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.
