I had no idea something like this exists until I met the Tormek team last month at the housewares show at McCormick place in Chicago. I ordered one one as soon as I got home, because I've spent a lot of money and countless hours learning to use traditional Japanese water stones. Don't get me wrong, the old manual method is superior in many ways, but when it comes to maintaining our kitchen knives along with my wife's knife roll, this unit saves me a lot of time and effort.

Absolutely. This is not a competitor to manual stone sharpening. It is for the home chef, bbq enthusiast or even a knife enthusiast who want sharp knives quick and to maintain quick. It is far superior than stones for that application. I have numerous sharpening systems and this is on my counter full time.

Thank you so much for the comment, I really appreciate it. Tomorrow I am releasing a new video on how to change the guide pads when they wear and cleaning the diamond wheel. It is amazing how that wheel sharpens again not realizing it is impacted by metal dust. How long have you had the T-1?

It would have been interesting to see the sharpness measured in between each steps, just to visualise the improvements. Honingwheel vs strop.

@@UkuleleJayBBQ The reason why, is because there are som guys doing the T1 with the same sharpness-measuring device that you have, complaining that it only provides a result around 350 with the T1. It sounds kinda wierd, therefore, it would be nice to see whether or not a strop is needed along the T1 for amazing results like yours or if those guys only need more training :) /Lenny

Awesome video! I was looking at Tormek, but not many - or no - videos that show in-depth how to and what not to. I was afraid that the T1 wouldn't do it as there is only 1 wheel available for it, the 600. While for the T2 there are 360, 600 and 1200. But it seems that is just fine! Thanks a lot!

@@Mark-pi7vj yes for kitchen knives it works excellent and the goal is making it easy and not having to worry about grits. The power honing wheel is huge to hone your knives each use and remember get a good leather strop and the PA70 3000 grit paste to put on your strop ( I have some videos of that). For the “average” kitchen cook or backyard bbq person this is all you need really. The T2 is awesome but a much bigger learning curve and is designed for pro kitchens really.

@@UkuleleJayBBQ Thanks for replying (you got yourself another subscriber). Ok, I'll go ahead with the T1 then. T2 is 3 times as expensive as well. Do I really need to hone each use? My wife is the clean(ing) type, there is no way she'll let me stand it on the counter haha. And I don't feel like taking it out every time. I have 2-3 knives that I alternate use throughout the week 4-5 times/days. So maybe once a week will do just fine? I'll check out your leather strop video(s)!

Hi Mark, thanks for the sub. No you don't have to do it every time. It's ideal to do it after each use to just keep that apex as straight as long as possible until the apex is worn and there is no curving over of the very tip edge. The 600 is absolutely fine for home cooks. If a knive is more dull, you just do more passes until you get that burr then do the other side or just do 10 strokes on one side, flip and do 10 strokes on the other, then move to 6 strokes on one side, six on the other, 3 on one side and 3 on the other and 1 on each side and you are done for the most part. The goal is get to a nice sharp kitchen knife and with the 600 it's not a repair grit but not a polishing grit like 1200. If you see some of my videos, I can take a dull knife (really dull) and with the T1, the honing wheel and finishing with a leather strop get it double razor sharp. My videos are for the average person not the knife geeks who go crazy with sharpening to a mirror polish. It's a waste on kitchen knives...waste of time and energy in my opinion. If she uses a few knives often then honing 1x a week should be ok. Remember, you don't have to hone at all except after you do the sharpening to get off any micro abraisions or tiny burrs you won't see with the naked eye. I fought that battle with my wife too ;-). My T1 is in the cabinet next to the counter for a quick pull out and plug in and us...that was the best I could do in my new kitchen LOL.

I learned its a 600 grit diamond stone. Im used to 250 stones, so this takes a few more passes and patience. I dont think the Tormek owner knew how long the diamond stone would last. Wonder how much for a new stone ... Thanks for the tips on how to sharpen. Wonder why the built in hone isnt good enough and you had to strop it on the other leather. .. Good stuff! Thank you!

Honing and stropping are different. I have a video on this. The T-1 does a fantastic job for both sharpening and honing but the honing wheel is dedicated for honing.

Mirror sharp is also not ideal in a kitchen knife. Having a toothy edge that the 600 grit offers is perfect after removing the burr.
