Tormek T8 - Kitchen knife sharpening + tomato & paper trick

Sharpening a kitchen knife sharpening on my Tormek T-8, with the tomato and paper trick! Here I take another kitchen knife and give it some really nasty beatings.. It’s 10 years old and has been discarded many years ago. So why not?! Filming this took 1-2 hours but this can easily be done in about 5-10 minutes.. Or less if you stick with the SG-250 stone. There’s a lot of comments about sharpening knives on the Tormek T8 vs. flat stones. Some people prefer flat stones over a Tormek and of course.. I would do the same, if you only need to sharpen a couple of knives or one. But when you sharpen 20, 50 or even 100 at the time, this machine can’t be beaten by flat stones. I use this for almost all my sharpening: axes, knives, gouges, turning tools etc. And of course for customers: scissors, kitchenknives etc. ASMR for the people!
