The first real knife sharpener for the home chef in a limited design edition. Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant is a collaboration between Tormek and Florentine Kitchen Knives. The playfully colourful handle contrasts the machine's subtly industrial design and makes it an eye-catching feature in any kitchen. Limited number of machines in the UK. 

You also grind with your eyes. That's why we wanted Tomer Botner, founder of the Barcelona-based knife making studio Florentine Kitchen Knives, to create a handle for the Tormek T-1 in his characteristic, colourful style. It became clear how well it would contrast the otherwise subtly industrial design of the Tormek T-1.

Florentine Kitchen Knives has long used Tormek's wet grinding system in the production of its high-end knives. This time it is instead Tomer's eye for design and Florentine Kitchen Knives' solid craftsmanship that resulted in the Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant. The handles are randomly assembled based on a common palette, which means that no machine is identical but has its own fingerprint. The collaboration has also been immortalised by having both brands' logos stamped into the fully cast zinc stand.

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.
