Knife Sharpening Classes
Watch the Tormek Live Sharpening Classes on knife sharpening and become a real pro!
First trying to get familiarized with knife sharpening can feel like a jungle. But in the Tormek Live Sharpening classes we go through all the steps and explain how to achieve professional sharpness on your Tormek sharpening system - every time.
Knife Sharpening
Wolfgang and Sébastien from Tormek show you how to sharpen three different types of knives on the Tormek water-cooled sharpening system. They demonstrate how to sharpen a regular chef's knife, a filleting knife, and a skinning knife with a very rounded belly at the tip. They use the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig and the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig (knife jigs updated since recording).
Tormek's Centering Knife Jigs
In this Tormek Sharpening Class episode we will take a look at our new knife jigs, KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig and KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig. They have been developed to take precision knife sharpening yet another step further.
With Tormek's patented KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig, you'll get symmetrical bevels with the same angle on both sides of the knife, regardless of the thickness or geometry of the blade. Whether you're sharpening a regular kitchen knife or a thicker, tapered hunting knife, you'll get the same results on both bevels of the knife without needing to reset the jig. The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig fits most types of knives: household knives, chef's knives, craft knives and knives for hunting and fishing. It also works for the woodcarver's straight drawknives and the gardener's pruning shears.
The longer clamp of the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig stabilizes flexible knife blades, such as filleting knives, to prevent them from bending. This gives you the same angle and pressure over the entire bevel.
Both new knife jigs work with Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models with a Universal Support.
Advanced Knife Sharpening
Do you want to take your knife sharpening to the next level? Then this advanced knife sharpening class is for you. Wolfgang and Sébastien discuss the many aspects of knife sharpening that are often discussed and debated in sharpening forums, among crafts people and professional sharpeners worldwide. They go in depth on the complexity of the exact edge angle, how to sharpen certain kinds of knifes with different shapes and material, the importance and function of honing and some basic knife care.
