Tormek T-1 Florentine Vibrant

Sale price€420,00
Color:

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.

It does what it promises.

I have been using the T1 for a week now. It is really easy to use, even for someone without sharpening experience. #tormekt1

Leider nicht gut geeignet für Taschenmesser und Brotzeitmesser

Ich habe nun schon einige Messer mit meiner Tormek T1 geschliffen.
Soweit bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der Maschine, sie ist leise ein Straken Motor.
Was ich aber bemängeln muss das man leider nirgends auf den Videos und auf den berichten von der Maschine sieht , ist dass die Schärfung für kleinere Jausen Messer und vor allem meine Taschenmesser Latherman Charge nicht oder fast gar nicht zum Schärfen geht. Zumind. nicht in der Vorrichtung . mann muss das Taschenmesser auf fummelige art und weise irgendwie an der schrägen Schleifscheibe Schärfen.
Große Küchenmesser hingegen gehen Perfekt zum Schleifen und werden auch Super scharf.
Ich würde mir wegen meinen Taschenmesser und meinen Brotzeit Messern die Tormek T2 bevorzugen da die Schleifscheibe gerade ist und man ohne Vorrichtung das Messer auch schärfen kann. Das ist nämlich auf der T1 nur erschwert möglich wegen der Abgeschrägten Schleifscheibe.

Hej Dietmar,
danke für deine Bewertung. Sowohl der Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener als auch der Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener sind für das Schleifen von Küchenmessern geeignet. Die Klemme funktioniert optimal für Messer ab einer Höhe von 15mm. Alle kleineren Messer werden nicht optimal festgehalten.
Stay sharp!

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.
