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.
