Now you'll never have to worry about dull knives again. Whether you are a home cook or professional chef - sharpen your knives to professional sharpness in a matter of minutes. In your home or restaurant kitchen.
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
Tormek T-1 Morakniv 1891
This machine is a design collaboration between the Swedish brands Tormek and Morakniv. With a collective history of over 150 years of making knives, and sharpening them, this machine becomes a tribute to the Swedish quality manufacturing and design tradition. The machine handle is made out of Swedish birch, just as the classic Morakniv handles. It has also gotten the same deep red color, a secret Morakniv recipe. To eternalize the collaboration, the solid zinc housing is stamped with the logo of both brands. We hope you’ll enjoy this all-Swedish machine with the heritage it carries for many years to come. Oh, and enjoy your sharp knives, à la minute!
The Tormek T-1 Morakniv 1891 is launched along the relaunch of the highly appreciated kitchen knife series Morakniv Classic 1891. You can purchase the machine as is, or as a bundle with the Morakniv x Tormek collab-branded Morakniv Classic 1891 utility knife. If you already have your Tormek T-1 and just want to get the knife that’s possible too. The Morakniv Utility Knife Classic 1891 is sharpened to 18 degrees per side. The Tormek T-1 Morakniv 1891 is available in Zinc Gray.

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.
