Key Features of the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener
Patented Angle Guide
Set the exact bevel angle from 8 to 22 degrees for each side of the knife (16 to 44 degrees total angle). This lets you sharpen all types of knives, from filleting knives to sturdy chef knives.
Patented Diamond Grinding Wheel
The fine grained diamond grinding wheel sharpens any type of steel. From finer Japanese carbon steels to your everyday stainless knives - and all in between. You can even sharpen your ceramic knives.
Conical Composite Honing Wheel
The conical composite honing wheel allows you to deburr the knife and polish the bevel after sharpening. This provides a sharper and more durable edge. You can also maintain the sharpness of your knives by honing them between sharpenings.
Developed and designed for home use, this qiuet and compact sharpener has a natural place on the kitchen counter. And the best part - even the dullest home cook can get their knives razor sharp again.
We have just one small warning: You will never want to work with dull knives again. So there is a major risk this will become your new favorite gadget!
Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener - Swedish Red
The first real knife sharpener for home chefs, the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener, in Swedish Red. Scandinavian feel for your kitchen.
Swedish Red brings a distinctly national character to the Tormek T-1. Inspired by the classic red cottages with white trim that define the Scandinavian landscape, this colorway highlights Tormek’s roots in a way that feels both familiar and unmistakably Swedish.
The warm, matte red finish is paired with a light birch handle, echoing the natural materials and bright wood details found in traditional Swedish craftsmanship. The result is a sharpener that blends precision engineering with cultural heritage - a design expression that stands out on the countertop while staying rooted in our history.
