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.

HORL 3 Magnifier

Glass Lens, Brass Body

Made in the Black Forest, the compact HORL Magnifier uses a real glass lens in a chrome-plated brass body, giving it the weight and permanence expected from the rest of the HORL sharpening system.

Use & Care
Use the Magnifier after or during sharpening to inspect the knife's cutting edge.
Hold the lens close to the bevel and adjust the viewing distance until the edge appears clearly in focus.
Inspect the entire edge from heel to tip for an even grinding pattern.
Check for visible traces of burr before considering the honing stage complete.
Use the Magnifier between refinement stages when comparing the effect of finer whetstones.
Handle the real-glass lens carefully and protect it from impact.
Remove fingerprints or dust with a clean, soft lens cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the lens or chrome-plated housing.
Keep the Magnifier dry and store it where the glass will not be scratched.
