At home in your own kitchen.

Home Chefs Deserve Professional Sharpness Too

Tormek has been developing sharpening machines for professional kitchens for many years. The highly regarded Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener sharpening machine is used by the Swedish Culinary Team and several Michelin star restaurants. Using this experience, Tormek has now developed the first real knife sharpener for the home chef.

The T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener has a sleek, subtly industrial design that gives it a natural place in the modern kitchen. Because whether you're cooking in a restaurant or at home in your own kitchen, the chef's most important tool is not a knife, but a real knife sharpener.

Sharpen your kitchen knives

With its innovative design and the best materials, the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener can sharpen most types of kitchen knives. The patented guide can handle knives with blades 12–60 millimeters (0.5–2.4 inches) high and up to 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) thick, with unlimited length. The fine-grained diamond grinding wheel sharpens all types of steel to professional sharpness and can also sharpen ceramic knives.

Quality and Care

The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is designed for those who care about quality and want to take care of their equipment. The machine is built to last and comes with an eight-year warranty, but will likely keep you sharp for much longer than that. With minimal steel wear, the life of your knives will be extended, and it will always be a pleasure to use freshly sharpened, razor-sharp knives in the kitchen. That's why a word of warning is in order: there's a good chance this will become your new favourite gadget.
