This electric sharpening machine, developed and manufactured in Sweden, is designed for domestic use.

How to sharpen your knife with the Tormek T-1

In just three simple steps, you can sharpen your kitchen knives at home with the Tormek T-1 and achieve professional results. No need for honing rods or manual whetstones—just care for your knives as they deserve:

1. Adjust: First, adjust the sharpening angle. If you’re not sure what’s optimal, set it to 15º or 17º—both are great starting points. A smaller angle gives better cutting performance, while a larger one offers a stronger edge. For example, a meat knife needs a larger angle than a filleting or paring knife.
2. Sharpen: Turn on the switch, insert the knife into the guide clamp and gently lower it onto the sharpening wheel. Move the knife back and forth along the diamond disc, following the edge from heel to tip. Keep a steady rhythm, apply light pressure (as if slicing a tomato), and guide the knife so it maintains full contact with the wheel. Flip the knife and sharpen the other side in the same way. Don’t worry about the metal shavings—there’s a magnet in the guide to catch them and keep the wheel clean.
3. Hone: The final step is honing the knife. Sharpening creates a burr on the edge, which should be removed on the honing wheel to achieve a razor-sharp, durable finish. Ensure the honing wheel rotates in the opposite direction of the edge and move the knife back and forth with light pressure. Flip the knife and do the same on the other side. A couple of passes on each side is enough. Done! Your knife is as good as new—razor sharp and ready to cut.
   

What sets the Tormek T-1 Knife Sharpener apart

• The Tormek T-1 was developed using the same method as sharpening systems for commercial kitchens, but adapted and approved for home use. It quickly and easily sharpens the entire bevel at the exact angle set using the patented guide.
• Easy to use, so you can sharpen your kitchen knives at home effortlessly and with professional results. Unlike manual methods—like whetstones or honing rods—that require experience, the Tormek T-1 delivers perfect sharpening of both edge and bevel for optimal, reliable performance.
• The patented guide allows precise adjustment of the sharpening angle between 8° and 22° on each side of the blade. If you're unsure, set it to 15º or 17º. Use the included marker pen to check: mark the bevel and if the line disappears during sharpening, your angle is correct.
• The fine-grit diamond sharpening wheel is perfect for professional sharpening. The low-speed rotation removes minimal steel and prevents overheating of the edge, preserving the blade's temper and keeping it sharper for longer.
• The fine diamond wheel sharpens all types of steel and can also sharpen ceramic knives. Since you sharpen each bevel separately, you can set different angles on each side or sharpen just one side. Ideal for even your most refined knives.
• It includes a composite honing wheel with integrated polishing compound. This is the final step in the sharpening process. The honing wheel also rotates at low speed, removing the burr and polishing the edge to perfection. For an extra glossy finish, slightly moisten the wheel.
• Professional sharpening of your kitchen knives. With innovative design and premium materials, the Tormek T-1 can sharpen most kitchen knives. The patented guide supports knives from 12 to 60 mm high and up to 5 mm thick, with no length limit.
• Quiet operation at just 45 dB, making the sharpening process effective and relaxing.
• It features a compact, subtly industrial design with a powder-coated die-cast zinc housing. The robust oak handle makes it easy to transport and adds a rustic yet elegant finish. It fits in any kitchen, no matter how small.
• The Tormek T-1 is designed and manufactured in Lindesberg, Sweden, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and excellent durability. No maintenance required.
• 8-year warranty for domestic use. The Tormek T-1 comes with 5 years of standard warranty plus 3 additional years with online registration.
• Includes a multi-language instruction manual with full sharpening guidance and angle advice according to knife type. You can also watch how to use it in the video below.

As you can see, the Tormek T-1 is the first professional knife sharpener designed for domestic use. You no longer need to struggle with a honing rod or sharpening stone—you can care for your knives as they deserve, easily, in just a few minutes and without leaving your kitchen. A true wonder!
