Tormek and Nick Agar, one of our most influential ambassadors and friends, have a rich history together. The first interaction with Nick was when he met our founder, Torgny Jansson at a Woodturning show in England back in the 1990's. It was during this meeting that he received his first Tormek Sharpening System. They would later meet on a Woodturning cruise set amongst the beautiful fjords in Norway in 2008. This meeting solidified their relationship. Prior communication between the two was done through writing for numerous years.

We would like to introduce one of our most influential ambassadors and friend, Nick Agar. Nick is a well-known woodturner, instructor and author who has helped popularize the art of woodturning for over thirty years. He recently relocated from Totnes, England to the United States where he has opened his own teaching studio in Brooklet, Georgia – Nick Agar Studios.

Now it's easier to maintain full control when sharpening V-tools, violin making knives and chip carving knives.

Johanna Ritscher and her filing cabinet entitled "12 månader" [12 months] is the 2019 recipient of the Tormek Scholarship Award. Johanna has created a cabinet that would be the dream addition to any living room thanks to its beautiful design and outstanding details. "I am truly passionate about designing, and I love creative projects," says Johanna.

This new design is made in cast zinc, which minimises the play and improves the precision and quality of the tool.

We can now proudly present our new collaboration with Italian Food Style Education. IFSE is the most innovative school for high quality cooking and baking in Italy. They had been seeking a way for their students to sharpen knives easily and quickly, with a professional result and the Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen provided the solution.

The Tormek Scholarship Award 2018 in the UK has been awarded to Dan Wall from Worcester. Dan has created a stunning table “#36” with some great detail during his time at Peter Sefton Furniture School in Upton-upon-Severn, and the prize - a complete Tormek Wet Sharpening System - will be very useful as Dan will continue to design his own pieces. Find out how this new woodworker built in the number 36 into his table and now seeks your curiosity and conversation for his work.

The Swedish Culinary Team claimed the first place in the prestigious Culinary World Cup which was settled in Luxembourg on November 29, 2018. Tormek is proud that the Tormek T-2 Knife Sharpener has been an important part of The Swedish Culinary Team’s equipment during the competition.

We are delighted to introduce Peter Sefton as our new Tormek Friend!
