What is the Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener?
The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is a professional knife sharpening system developed specifically for restaurant kitchens and commercial food preparation. Separate from Tormek's water-cooled sharpening systems, it uses a fine-grained diamond grinding wheel without water, together with a patented angle guide and composite honing wheel. This provides a quick, clean, and straightforward way to sharpen kitchen knives on site, with precise and repeatable results whenever sharp knives are needed.

Tormek has been developing sharpening machines for professional kitchens for many years. The highly regarded Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener sharpening machine is used by the Swedish Culinary Team and several Michelin star restaurants. Using this experience, Tormek has now developed the first real knife sharpener for the home chef.
Adapted for Professional Kitchens
The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is a professional sharpening system designed and certified for commercial use. Ideal for restaurant kitchens, industrial kitchens or meat processing businesses, where speed and precision are essential. The patented guide can handle knives with blades 12–60 millimeters high and up to 5 millimeters thick, with unlimited length. Want to sharpen a taller knife or a cleaver? Just remove the plastic clip from the angle guide and you're good to go! The fine-grained diamond grinding wheel sharpens all types of steel to professional sharpness and can also sharpen ceramic knives. For the Tormek T-2 we do offer diamond wheels in three different grits.
Built to Last
The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is designed for those who care about quality and want to use reliable equipment. The machine is built to last and comes with an eight-year warranty (two years when used for professional sharpening services), but will likely keep you sharp for much longer than that. By minimizing steel wear, the life of your knives will be extended and you will always have the pleasure to use freshly sharpened, razor-sharp knives in your professional kitchen.
