Tormek brings over 50 years of expertise in tool sharpening for woodworkers and more than 35 years in knife sharpening for commercial kitchens. The sleek, Scandinavian design of the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener for the home comes fully assembled, featuring a diamond grinding wheel, composite honing wheel, patented angle guide which allows you to choose any angle between 8 – 22 degrees per side and a powder-coated zinc body in NEW SWEDISH RED.
The tone brings a distinctly national character to the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener. Inspired by the classic red cottages with white trim that define the Scandinavian landscape, this colourway highlights Tormek’s roots in a way that feels both familiar and unmistakably Swedish. The warm, matte red finish is complemented by a light birch handle, echoing the natural materials and bright wood details found in traditional Swedish craftsmanship. The result is a sharpener that blends precision engineering with cultural heritage – a design expression that stands out on the countertop while staying true to our history.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect knife sharpener for yourself or on the hunt for the ideal gift for a foodie friend or family member, the Tormek T-1 transforms meal prep:
• For anyone who cooks – whether slicing and dicing vegetables and fruit, or carving the Sunday roast, sharp knives make all the difference
• Faster, safer prep – glide through piles of veg with razor-sharp ease. The sharper the knife, the safer it is. If you’re having to press down hard onto a vegetable with a blunt knife there’s increased risk of the blade slipping and causing injury
• Flawless presentation – neatly slice garnishes to add flair to a multitude of dishes
• No more squashed tomatoes, torn herbs or tears – only clean, precise cuts
AND
• No more tears – cutting onions with a dull knife will have you crying harder than when you first watched Good Will Hunting. A sharp knife minimises the tear-inducing compounds, making onion slicing in your kitchen a far happier experience
Manufactured in Lindesberg, Sweden, the Tormek T-1 comes with an 8-year warranty. Store it safely in a dry place and enjoy consistently sharp knives for years to come.
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener in NEW SWEDISH RED, RRP £342, is available from shop.tormek.co.uk.

In fact, the blades come out so sharp that you’ll find yourself slicing and chopping any and everything in sight. Just remember: these knives now mean business, so keep your fingers well clear!
Thankfully, Tormek seems to know just how sharp the T-1 can make your knives, because it thoughtfully includes two knife sheaths to keep those lethal edges safely covered. Even better, tucked into the box are five blue catering plasters—which feels less like an accessory pack and more like an optimistic prediction of your first sharpening session! The Tormek T-1 is an exceptional sharpener that delivers professional-quality edges every time. Just treat those freshly sharpened knives with the respect they deserve—or at least make sure someone else is on washing-up duty!
