Early days

Excellent gadget

I was a little sceptical about paying quite a considerable amount on a kitchen gadget.
I've tried various sharpening tools eg Wetstones and other tools.
This takes a little patience to get this perfected, about two hours. Old knives now have a decent edge to them. My better quality knives are really sharp and the paper sheet test is easily passed.
Would recommend this product without hesitation.

Superb

Expensive, but takes years of trial and error out of learning how to sharpen knives. Build quality is amazing.

Great piece of kit

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.

Worth the money

It has made my old knives razor sharp in minutes.

Perfection in Three Easy Steps

It takes only three easy steps to sharpen your knives razorblade sharp. With the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener you sharpen the entire bevel of your knife creating a new apex. At home, in your own kitchen!

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. 

3. Hone to final finish

Remove the burr and polish the knife on the honing wheel to achieve a razor-sharp edge. Also for maintaining your knives between sharpenings.
