Tormek has more than 50 years of expertise in tool sharpening for woodworkers and over 35 years in knife sharpening for commercial kitchens. The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is the first, premium kitchen knife sharpener for the home.
The latest addition to the range is a collaboration between two Swedish greats – Tormek and Morakniv – both renowned for their premium quality and expertise.
The new Tormek T-1 Morakniv 1891 has a sleek industrial design and comes fully assembled with a powder-coated zinc body stamped with the collaboration logo, diamond grinding wheel, composite honing wheel and a solid birch handle in the famous Morakniv red. The vibrantly colourful handle contrasts with the sharpener’s subtle minimalist design making it an eye-catching addition to any kitchen and a real collector’s item for culinary connoisseurs. The ‘Utility Knife’, sporting the unmistakable red birch handle from the Morakniv Classic 1891 series, is an excellent go-to tool for many tasks in the kitchen from cutting fruits and veg to trimming and slicing meat.
Based on the innovative sharpening system developed for professional kitchens, the Tormek T-1 Morakniv 1891 is quick, easy, clean and quiet, it precisely sharpens kitchen knives of any length, effortlessly delivering a razor-sharp and durable cutting edge ensuring the blade stays sharper for longer.
There are just three steps to sharp knives:
Set the preferred bevel angle
You can choose any angle between eight and 22 degrees. However, 18 degrees (the Morankiv Utility Knife Classic 1891 is 18 degrees per side) is a good angle to start with if you are unsure. A small angle will cut easier, while a large angle will give a stronger edge.
Sharpen on both sides
The fine-grained diamond grinding wheel sharpens all types of steel including ceramic knives – to professional sharpness. The low-speed means that there’s minimal steel wear.
Insert the clean, dry knife into the guide. A magnet in the patented guide collects the steel particles keeping the grinding wheel clean. Follow the shape of the knife and apply only a gentle pressure.
Hone to an expert, razor-sharp finish
Simply remove the burr* and polish both sides of the knife on the honing wheel.
* after sharpening a ‘burr’ is created which needs to be honed off to obtain a sharp and durable edge.
Unlike some alternatives, the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener sharpens the entire bevel of the knife, not just the outer edge, and because the bevels can be sharpened separately, there’s the option to set different edge angles on each side of the blade, or sharpen just one side, which is particularly useful for more advanced knives.
Built to last, with an eight-year warranty, made in Sweden.
