Our Kagami is a whetstone for those wanting to get the sharpest possible edge on their knives, and at the same time discover what the steel of their blade is truly capable of. Its ultra-fine grit polishes the cutting edge to a unique mirror-like sharpness.
We developed the HORL® Kagami for those who demand the ultimate in sharpness. With this ultra-fine sharpening stone, we go to a completely new level with three times finer sharpening results than with standard Japanese whetstones.
In the cradle of traditional sharpening, Japanese sharpening experts have produced the HORL® Kagami especially for HORL®. It enables you to give your knives a mirror-like sharpness and serves for a truly wow moment when you first use the knife.
After intensive research and countless tests on knives made of steels of all degrees of hardness, we found that a unique mirror-like sharpness can be achieved with a wide range of knives, whether they are made from classic European kitchen knife steel or high-quality Damascus and carbon steel.
After sharpening using the HORL® whetstones fine and extra fine, additional use of the HORL® Kagami allows you to achieve an incredible mirror-like sharpness that sets new standards both optically and measurably.
HORL®2 models have a screw lock, while HORL®3 models are equipped with Quick Lock. When ordering discs, make sure you choose those that fit your model of sharpener. This enables you to discover even higher levels of sharpness using our accessories.
The HORL® Kagami is collaboratively manufactured by our regional partners and our partners in Japan, who share our strict quality standards. By working closely together, we are able to ensure that the HORL® Kagami meets the highest of standards.
