Top chefs agree that proper knife maintenance is essential in a professional kitchen – and the same holds true at home. When it comes to getting the perfect edge, there’s no need to look any further than Tormek and its T-1 Knife Sharpener, which now comes in a New Ash Green colour scheme.
Tormek brings over 50 years of expertise in tool sharpening for woodworkers and more than 35 years in knife sharpening for commercial kitchens. The sleek, Scandinavian design of the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener comes fully assembled, featuring a solid handle, diamond grinding wheel, composite honing wheel and a powdercoated zinc body in Carbon Black, Zinc Gray and New Ash Green.
The tone is a subtle, muted green, for a soft, sophisticated feel. It sits between sage and moss on the colour spectrum, but with a duskier, more neutral quality. It’s a calm, understated shade – perfect for creating a tranquil and timeless aesthetic complementing every kitchen style.
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is the first, premium quality kitchen knife sharpener for the home. Quick, easy, clean and quiet, it precisely sharpens blades 12-60mm high and up to 5mm thick, with unlimited length. Based on the innovative sharpening system developed for professional kitchens, the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener effortlessly delivers a razor-sharp cutting edge and a durable angle that won’t dull after every use.
With the Tormek T-1 range, you can quickly and easily sharpen the entire bevel of the knife to the exact angle you set using the patented guide. Unlike more simple sharpeners, hand lappers, or honing steels, the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener sharpens the entire bevel, not just the outer edge. In just minutes, you can restore your kitchen knives to razor-sharp precision.
Manufactured in Lindesberg, Sweden, the Tormek T-1 in NEW ASH GREEN embodies Tormek’s legacy of combining design, functionality, and durability, making it the perfect choice for the design-conscious home cook seeking lasting quality and exceptional performance.
How to Identify When a Knife Needs Sharpening
The experts at Tormek told us, “You can easily tell if a knife needs sharpening by how much pressure you need to cut ingredients. If a knife is dull, you tend to have to apply more pressure. A sharp knife cuts cleanly through ingredients, preserving their quality and appearance, which is particularly important for delicate items such as herbs and vegetables. Also, the sharper the knife, the safer it is. If you’re having to press down hard onto a vegetable with a blunt knife, there’s increased risk of the blade slipping and causing injury.”
The Tormek T-1 comes with an 8-year warranty. Store it safely in a dry place and enjoy consistently sharp knives for years to come.
