Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener

One of the best purchases we have made. We own several expensive knives and I was able to sharpen them all in less than 30 minutes. Honestly, they are the sharpest they have ever been. Highly recommended.

Cannot use a whetstone again

My first attempt with our everyday knives (Shun Classic series) was such a success that I had the confidence to use the T-1 with my presentation knives (Hatsukokoro Kumokage Aogami #2 series). Again, success. The manual process is so much more gratifying than with whetstones in my opinion. Contact between blade on grinding wheel is quieter than my 1000 stone, and the guide keeps a consistent angle which is incredibly hard for me to do by hand. The honing wheel gives continuous tactile feedback unlike my 3000 stone. and honing/polishing takes very little effort. One of the coolest things (especially with the Shuns that were in really bad shape) was that I could see the burr flicking off the edges while using the honing wheel. As others have already mentioned, each knife only takes a couple of minutes to complete. Lastly, there is no wasted movement with your arms having to make big arcs. Worth it! No question!

Razor sharp

Over the years, I’ve purchased all sorts of different knife sharpeners the Tormek T1 by far is the easiest and quickest that I’ve ever used. There is a small learning curve but after that you’re gonna have extremely sharp knives. I could’ve saved a whole lot of money if I would’ve started off with this sharpener.

Very good so far.

I enjoy my Tormek T-1 right out of the box. It seems very well made, sharpens my kitchen knives to a fine finish, and looks good enough to keep out in the open. I like it so much I ordered three more as Cmas gifts for my kids!

1. Set preferred edge angle

17° is a good angle to start with if you are unsure of what angle to choose. A small angle will cut more easily, while a large angle will give a stronger edge.

2. Sharpen both sides

Insert the knife into the guide. Follow the edge profile and apply gentle pressure, as if you were slicing a tomato.
