This bundle includes the Tormek T-8 and the HTK-1006 Hand Tool Kit. Bundle and Save.
The Tormek Hand Tool Kit is for just about anything that is broadly considered a hand tool. It includes jigs to sharpen knives, scissors, carving tools and axes. This kit really extends the usefulness of the Tormek System.
Tormek Quality
There is no substitute for the Tormek T-8. This sharpener has quality built into the design and an 8 year manufacturer's warranty that shows the long term commitment to quality. For those that understand the quality and versatility of this sharpener, it is an indespensible tool.
The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is repeatability. The tools are guided in jigs and you remove only a minute fraction of the steel at each sharpening ensuring that your tools last longer. You can shape the tool exactly to your needs.
The water cooled slow speed grindstone is in harmony with the physical laws governing the steel tool. The edge does not overheat and lose its hardness. You finish the sharpening process on the leather honing wheel, which lets you polish the edge to a razor sharpness. In addition, there is no grinding dust to pollute the air. The steel particles are deposited into the water trough. The Tormek method is safe. At the low speed, you can fully control the sharpening.
Sharpen with unbeatable precision
- Water-cooled sharpening with no risk of overheating the steel.
- Exact repeatability– sharpen your tools with unbeatable precision.
- Efficient grindstone with adjustable properties equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit.
- Solid zinc frame with integrated mounts for controllable and accurate sharpening.
- Powerful industrial AC motor for continuous use.
- 8-year warranty, 5 years + 3 years when you register online.
Sharpen your knives
The HTK-1006 Hand Tool Kit includes all our jigs for sharpening the vast majority of knives in your home. This kit includes the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig which you can use to sharpen everything from regular kitchen knives to outdoor knives, even lawnmower blades. In a nutshell, a very versatile jig!
The kit also includes the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig. The wider clamp stabilizes the long and flexible blades of filleting knives, for example. This gives you an even bevel and angle along the entire blade, even on knives with flexible blades that are otherwise difficult to sharpen uniformly.
Also included is the SVM-00 Small Knife Holder to be used together with the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig. These allow you to easily sharpen even your smallest knives.
Sharpening scissors, axes and other hand tools
Every household has at least one pair of scissors. And more often than not it's a blunt pair of scissors. With the included SC-60 Scissors Jig you easily make your scissors sharper than when they were new.
The AX-40 Axe Jig is a very simple and precise jig which allows you to sharpen all types of axes. It allows for sharpening a concave, flat, or convex bevel on axes with straight or rounded edges. No matter what the axe is used for, working with a sharp edge is both easier and safer.
The SVS-38 Short Tool Jig sharpens most short hand tools, from small carving chisels and gouges, to flathead screwdrivers and more.
