Introduction The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener, Carbon Black, is a sturdy, electric sharpener for home use. With the Tormek T-1 kitchen knife sharpener, you will never have to take your knives away to be sharpened again. You can easily sharpen them yourself to a professional standard in just a few minutes. At home in your own kitchen! This version of the T1 has an elegant green finish. ## Tormek T1: professional-level sharpening at home The T1 brings professional sharpening technology to the home kitchen. Compact, quiet and surprisingly precise. You sharpen your kitchen knives at a precisely set angle (between 8 and 22 degrees) and give them a clean, even and razor-sharp edge. Tormek has been building kitchen knife sharpeners for professional kitchens for years; the T-1 is the compact version for home cooks who take their knives seriously. The industrial design looks modern and fits into almost any kitchen. ## Precise sharpening at the right angle The patented angle guide is an important part of the T-1. You can easily and continuously select an angle between 8 and 22 degrees per side, and the guide is suitable for knives up to 5 mm thick. This makes it possible to sharpen a wide range of knives, from Japanese santokus to sturdy chopping knives. The guide contains felt knife protectors. These pads collect grinding dust and steel particles that are produced during sharpening. They protect the blade from scratches, so you can sharpen even your most beautiful kitchen knives with confidence. In addition, a built-in magnet collects the grinding debris, making cleaning a lot easier and keeping your workplace tidy. ## Diamond grinding wheel and handy composite honing wheel The diamond grinding wheel has a grit size of 600, rotates slowly, stays cool and removes very little steel. From soft steel to the hardest types of steel, with the diamond grinding wheel you can sharpen almost any kitchen knife. Then remove the burr on the composite honing wheel, which comes with integrated polish to reduce contamination. This makes refreshing between sharpening sessions very easy. And as soon as the knife feels really blunt again, just run it over the diamond grinding wheel again. ## Quiet, sturdy and built for years of use The T-1 is remarkably quiet, at around 45 dB. This is ideal for everyday use at home on the kitchen counter. The fully cast zinc housing feels solid and the oak handle makes it easy to move around. You get a 5-year warranty plus an extra 3 years after online registration. ## How do you sharpen with a Tormek T1? Sharpening with a Tormek T-1 is surprisingly easy once you’ve done it. First, set the desired sharpening angle on the angle guide. Then, gently run the blade against the fine-grained diamond wheel, applying light, even pressure across the entire cutting edge. Sharpen both sides of the knife separately. Once the knife is sharp, remove the burr on the composite honing wheel. A few gentle strokes are usually enough to polish the edge neatly. The knife is then ready for immediate use. ## The Tormek T-1 comes with: DF-150 conical diamond wheel (600 grit) PW-160 conical composite honing wheel KPP-2 knife protection pads, pre-mounted in the guide EM-15 edge marker for easy angle setting Patented sharpening angle Manual Quick start card General information Brand:Tormek Colour:green Series:T1 Sharpening angle:Variable sharpening angleWarranty on materials and manufacturing defects:8 yearCountry of origin:Sweden Article number:TOT-1GRA-GB Dimensions & weight Sharpening angle:22, 8, variable grinding angle Height:18.1 cm Length:19.6 cm Weight:5,400 g Width:20.4 cm Material Material:ash wood, plastic, wood, zinc Abrasive:diamond Features & functions Suitable for:asian kitchen knives, double sided sharpened knives, blades sharpened on one side, western kitchen knives Power adapter:UK plug Can be used without power:No Type:electric sharpener Fixed sharpening angle:NoGrit according to supplier:600Use with water:No Number of sharpening stages:2 Grit size:Medium (600-1000) Performance Capacity:120 W Scope of delivery Storage box / etui:No
