How to Sharpen Your Knife with the Tormek T-1 Sharpener

In just three simple steps, the Tormek T-1 sharpener lets you sharpen your kitchen knives at home with professional results, without using honing rods or manual sharpening stones, and taking proper care of them:

1. Adjust: First, set the desired sharpening angle. If you're unsure of the optimal angle for your knife, you can set it to 15º or 17º — a good starting point. A smaller angle gives better cutting performance, while a larger angle provides a stronger edge. For example, a meat knife requires a steeper edge angle than a fillet or paring knife.
2. Sharpen: Turn on the power 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 wheel, following the entire edge to the tip. Keep a steady pace, apply light pressure (as if slicing a tomato), and guide the knife to make full contact with the wheel. Flip the knife and repeat on the other side. Don’t worry about steel particles — the guide’s magnet collects them to keep the wheel clean.
3. Polish: The final step is polishing. Sharpening creates a burr that needs to be removed on the honing wheel for a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge. Ensure the honing wheel rotates against the blade edge and move the knife back and forth along the wheel with light pressure. Repeat on the other side. Just a couple of passes per side will do. Done! Your knife is like new — perfectly sharp and ready to cut.

What Makes the Tormek T-1 Knife Sharpener Stand Out

• The Tormek T-1 kitchen knife sharpener was developed using the same method as commercial kitchen sharpening systems but is adapted and approved for home use. It quickly and easily sharpens the entire bevel at the exact angle set with the patented guide.
• Easy to use, allowing you to professionally sharpen your kitchen knives at home without hassle. Unlike manual methods like sharpening stones or honing rods that require skill, the Tormek T-1 delivers perfect results by sharpening both the edge and bevel for an optimal, reliable, and efficient cut.
• Patented guide lets you precisely adjust the sharpening angle between 8 and 22 degrees per side for the best results. If you're unsure of the right angle, start with 15º or 17º. Use the included marker to find the existing angle — the marker line will disappear if the angle is correct.
• Its fine-grit diamond sharpening wheel ensures professional results. The diamond wheel runs at low speed, removing minimal steel and avoiding edge overheating, preserving the knife's temper and keeping it sharper longer.
• The fine diamond sharpening wheel sharpens all types of steel with a professional edge and also sharpens ceramic knives. You can adjust angles separately on both sides or sharpen only one — ideal for even your most delicate knives.
• Includes a composite honing wheel with integrated polishing compound for a flawless finish. It also runs at low speed and removes burrs and polishes the edge to perfection. Slightly dampening the wheel can enhance the polishing effect.
• Professional sharpening for your kitchen knives. With innovative design and premium materials, the Tormek T-1 sharpens most kitchen knives. The patented guide fits blades from 12 to 60 mm in height and up to 5 mm thick, with unlimited length.
• Quiet operation at only 45 dB, making sharpening efficient and relaxing.
• Features a compact, subtly industrial design with a powder-coated, zinc-cast body. The sturdy oak handle adds a rustic and elegant touch and makes it easy to move. It fits into any kitchen, even small ones.
• The Tormek T-1 is developed and manufactured in Lindesberg, Sweden, ensuring high craftsmanship and excellent durability. Plus, it requires no maintenance.
• Backed by a domestic use warranty of 8 years — 5 years standard + 3 years with online registration.
• Includes a multi-language instruction manual with all the necessary sharpening guidelines, including angle suggestions based on knife type. A tutorial video is also available below.

As you can see, the Tormek T-1 is the first professional-grade knife sharpener for home use. Say goodbye to struggling with honing rods or sharpening stones — now you can care for your knives as they deserve. Sharpen them easily in just a few minutes without leaving your kitchen. A real game changer!
