The New Color Carbon Black
If razor sharp knives wasn't enough to get you excited, this should do the trick! The first real knife sharpener for home chefs [link other article] is now available in a new look. The new color version Carbon Black gives an extra edge to an already bold design.
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener has been extremely well received since its launch. Not only has it gotten many positive verified reviews, but it has also been featured and praised on blogs, YouTube, magazines, and cookbooks.
With its sleek industrial design, it comes fully assembled with a solid oak handle, Carbon Black powder-coated cast zinc body, diamond grinding wheel and composite honing wheel. Now it's no longer a matter of whether to get a Tormek T-1, but rather a matter of choosing your favorite color.
-"The Tormek T-1 is not only unique in its ease of use and great sharpening results. Thanks to its industrial design and handy size, it is also a design piece in the kitchen", says Samuel Stenhem, CEO of Tormek. With the new Carbon Black color, the knife sharpener has a more edgy look that suits all home chefs with an interest in modern design.
Design and function.
The innovative design of the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is an eye catcher in literally every kitchen. Its size is perfect to keep it out on the kitchen counter or store it in a cupboard if you don´t have enough space. The original color Zinc Gray works well with most kitchen designs as it emphasizes the subtle industrial design of the machine. It also speaks to the heritage of Tormek, since it is the same powder coated color as the zinc parts of the sharpening machines for woodworking and crafts that Tormek originates from.
The fine-grained diamond wheel which allows you to sharpen all your kitchen knives harmonizes with the gray housing while the black honing wheel for deburring and polishing your edges to razor sharpness stand out.
With the color version Carbon Black the look of the machine gets a new twist. The housing is still fully cast in zinc but stands out with the powder-coating in the new trend color Carbon Black (which actually is a very dark gray). Now it´s the diamond wheel that pops and contrasts with the dark look of the machine.
The only question that remains is: which color fits your kitchen best?
