Really sharp, really simple

The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener provides professional sharpening. This concept is a progression of the diamond whetstone, and it gives you full control in combination with the patented angle guide. However, you don't just hone the cutting edge as with manual whetstones, honing rods, or conventional sharpeners. Instead, you resharpen your knives and give them a new, precise edge that's evenly sharpened across the entire bevel. It's like having professional sharpening service at your restaurant!

Adapted for restaurant kitchens

Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is a knife sharpening system adapted and certified for commercial use. Work in restaurant kitchens, industrial kitchens, or meat processing is often fast-paced and results-oriented. The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener gives you perfectly sharpened knives in a matter of minutes. For the home chef, we offer the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener, adapted and approved for home use.

The separate composite honing wheel comes with an integrated polishing agent to simplify handling and minimize contamination. What's more, the steel particles from the sharpening process are collected on the magnet in the guide, so you can sharpen your knife in the kitchen whenever you need to. Sharp knives are much more enjoyable to work with, result in less waste and ensure a clean cut for better results. But then, you already knew that.

A Sharpening System That's Gentle on Your Knives

Knives are a chef's best friend, and you really should take care of your friends. Working with a blunt or damaged edge makes you more likely to damage the knife further, or injure yourself. The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener has a fine-grained diamond grinding wheel that rotates at low speed to avoid unnecessary removal of material, and there's no risk of destroying the knife's tempering. You can easily set a precise sharpening angle to get the most out of your knife.

With the coarser grinding wheel DWC-200 Diamond Wheel Coarse you can repair a damaged edge faster or resharpen the blade at a new angle. The extra fine grit DWE-200 Diamond Wheel Extra Fine provides the highest sharpness along with the finest surface finish.

The patented angle guide comes with a knife protection felt that catches the steel particles missed by the magnet, so you can make even your finest knives razor-sharp without scratching them.

Sharpen Scissors & Round, Rotating Blades

You can extend your system further beyond knife sharpening. The Tormek T-2 can sharpen kitchen scissors with the SC-60 Scissors Jig. With a simple mounting and angle setting all your old kitchen scissors will make the cut again!

With the RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment you can sharpen round, rotary blades. This is highly appreciated for kebab-, gyro-, or shawarma cutters for example.
