VISIBLY SHARP We developed the HORL Magnifier so that sharpness is not only functional but also visible. Made in the Black Forest, the HORL Magnifier offers 3.5x magnification, whi ch is perfect for examining the grinding pattern of the sharpened edge. For those who like to take a closer look. Manufactured in Germany's Black Forest from chrome-plated brass, the compact HORL Magnifier offers 3.5x magnification, so you can easily examine the grinding pattern of a knife's sharpened edge. This is the optimal amount of detail for evaluating the grinding pattern, as it lets you see the burr – tiny shavings of metal that surface when you sharpen a blade, invisible to the naked eye. (Normally, a burr is examined by running a finger along the blade and 'feeling' for a raised edge or loose metal; once the burr is felt, the blade is honed in order to remove the burr.) The locking ring can be unscrewed to clean the lens. Show more
