Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener, Carbon Black

Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener. The first real knife sharpener for the home chef. Unlike a simpler sharpener, hand lapper or honing steel, it sharpens the entire bevel of the knife, not just the outer edge. With the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener, you'll never have to send your knives out for sharpening because you can easily get them to professional sharpness yourself in a matter of minutes, at home, in your own kitchen. The fine-grained diamond grinding wheel sharpens all types of steel to professional sharpness and can also sharpen ceramic knives. Because you sharpen the knife's bevels separately, you have the option of setting different edge angles on both sides of the knife or sharpening one side only. This allows you to sharpen even more advanced knives. Between sharpenings, you can easily maintain the edge simply by using the honing wheel. When you no longer get the same sharpness, switch back to the diamond grinding wheel.
