Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener

Description

The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is specially designed to meet the professional's demand for effective sharpness, user-friendliness, and efficient workflow. The simplicity and ease of use of this compact unit make it easy to keep it close by. A few strokes on the Diamond and Composite wheels and then you are quickly back to meal prep with a fresh edge. You get the ultimate quality and sharpness on all your culinary knives.
The built-in knife holding jig is an innovative guidance system (patent pending) that enables a professional sharpening every time. The resilient clamp steers the knife on both sides, making it easy to grind the whole bevel while still maintaining a constant angle against the grinding wheel. The Angle Guide for the jig is easy to mount to the Guide Bar and can be quickly set for angles of 8 to 22 degrees.
The T-2 Sharpener includes both a Diamond Sharpening Wheel and a Composite Honing Wheel. The fine-grained Diamond Wheel is optimized to provide both a high level of sharpness and efficient steel removal. It won't remove more steel than necessary. The Honing Wheel is used to remove the burr after sharpening on the Diamond Wheel. It is a composite material with the polishing abrasive right in it. This means adding honing compound to the wheel is not necessary, further making the process simpler and faster.
While Tormek is most well-known for its water-cooled grinders, the T-2 is a dry grinder. There is no water to splash around, and the low speed ensures that your steel will not overheat. The wheel can be cleaned with soapy water and a nylon brush as needed.
The T-2 can accommodate knives 14 - 60 mm (5/16" - 2-3/8") wide, and up to 3.5 mm (3/32") thick and it includes a removable magnet for capturing debris. A sturdy built-in handle makes it easy to move the machine when needed. The machine is very quiet when running, so there will be no extra noise to add distraction to the kitchen.
7 Year Warranty (2 years when used for a professional sharpening service). Sweden
Professionals don’t need to submit the knives for professional sharpening or use sharpening stones and thereby saving a lot of time. The Tormek sharpening is done in minutes instead of hours/days.
Low cost compared to a sharpening service. A restaurant that uses a sharpening service for 10 knives will recoup the cost of a Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen in less than a year.
Sharpen, don’t shorten. Thanks to the slow-turning diamond wheel and the high accuracy, the machine does not remove any more steel than necessary, making knives last longer.
No need to send the knives out for sharpening, less Co2 emissions.
Having sharp knives reduces food waste and leaves less scrap on the cutting board.
Made of high-quality materials, the Tormek T-2 is extremely durable. The estimated service life for normal use is about 20-25 years.
The machine is maintenance-free and consumes very little energy, only 120 W (an industrial coffee maker is 2400 W).
