Very good

Very easy to get a sharp edge especially for beginners only thing to note it seems to run hotter than I thought it would do

Superior to Horl

I own both the Tormek T-1 and the Horl 2 Pro. Surprisingly, they are similar in price. Although both will do the job, I found the Tormek far quicker and it produced a sharper blade. It also has more variety of angles rather than being restricted to 15 or 20 degrees.

Excellent

Been through so many sharpeners and never totally satisfied. I have zero coordination and can never stay at the right angle for whetstones.

This is the next best thing IMO, along with WorkSharp. But this is better looking and looks more solid.

It works wonderfully, but you do need to work out the angle of your cutting edge. The magnet does a good job of picking up metal dust and filings, but not everything. I do recommend placing this on a mat or towel to protect the surface it is on.

It sharpens quickly and the honing wheel does a great job, however you do really need a leather strop and some compound.

Overall, this does and excellent job. It's quiet, looks good and built like a tank. This will last forever. Don't waste your time with Hori with it's limited angles, limited to knife sizes and covering the surface with metal dust.

Thank you so much for the great feedback!

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.
