Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant
The first real knife sharpener for the home cook in a limited design edition. The Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant is a collaboration between Tormek and Florentine Kitchen Knives. The playfully colorful handle contrasts with the machine's subtle industrial design, making it a striking feature in any kitchen. Pair it with a matching paring knife from Florentine Kitchen Knives, featuring striped handles from the same carefully selected palette, and you'll experience a truly sharp kitchen experience.
You sharpen with your eyes first. That's why we asked Tomer Botner, founder of the Barcelona-based knife-making studio Florentine Kitchen Knives to create a handle for the Tormek T-1 in his distinctive, colorful style. It was instantly clear how well it would contrast with the otherwise subtly industrial design of the Tormek T-1.
Florentine Kitchen Knives has long used Tormek's water-cooled sharpening system in the production of their high-end knives. This time instead it is Tomer's eye for design and Florentine Kitchen Knives' genuine craftsmanship that has resulted in the Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant. The handles are randomly assembled from a specific palette, which means that no two machines are identical but have their own fingerprint. The collaboration has also been immortalized by stamping both brands' logos into the fully cast zinc housing.

Perfect Edge in Three Simple Steps
With the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener you sharpen the entire bevel of your knife creating a new apex. The low RPM and precise angle setting ensures minimal steel removal and eliminates risk of overheating your edge. Professional sharpness at home
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 on 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
Deburr and polish the knife on the honing wheel to achieve a razor-sharp edge. Also for maintaining your knives between sharpenings.
