Perfect Edge in Three Simple Steps
With the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener you sharpen the entire bevel of your knife creating a new apex. The low RPM and precise angle setting ensures minimal steel removal and eliminates risk of overheating your edge. Professional sharpness at home!
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 on both sides
Insert the knife into the guide. Follow the edge profile and apply gentle pressure, as if you were slicing a tomato.
3. Hone to final finish
Deburr and polish the knife on the honing wheel to achieve a razor-sharp edge. Also for maintaining your knives between sharpenings.
Let customers speak for us
Expensive, but takes years of trial and error out of learning how to sharpen knives. Build quality is amazing.
The T1 has sharpened all our knives in the kitchen and our “out door” knives to great effect. Very simple to use and accurately holds the knife regardless of size or shape (subject to T1 instructions) and so much easier than manual stones. Very pleased with my purchase.
It has made my old knives razor sharp in minutes.
So much quicker and simpler than sharpening stones. Follow with a leather strop for scary sharpness. No regrets.
Easy to use and the knives are sharp
The best!!!!
The best I've come across so far 100%
My husband is super happy with it, he has already spent a few hours sharpening our knives and the knives of friends and family
I have never sharpened knives so quickly and easily. You don't need to worry about the angle because you set the angle firmly. I can only recommend.
Simple to use and gives you a perfect result. It´s used for kitchen knives as well as the hunting and slaughtery knives.
I am very satisfied with the initial sharpening results. However, the handling still takes some getting used to.
Thanks
Great, Easy to sand and turns out well
I've gotten every knife sharp so far 👍👍👍👍
I have already tried several knife sharpeners. But Tormek simply delivers the best result. Tomatoes can be sliced very thinly
Very good sharpener

Every home chef should have one
My Tormek knife sharpener is to cooking, what music is to dancing. As a chef, in the kitchen it’s not the knife that counts but how sharp it
is. The Tormek T-1 has made sharpening my collection of knives a quick and efficient task - resulting in razor sharp blades every-time.
The knock-on effect is that I have found my work easier, safer and more
enjoyable. I heavily recommend all keen home cooks invest in their own Tormek knife sharpener.
