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!

Very therapeutic to watch.

Never seen cutting a paper like this; …. You’re a Master 😌

Best sharpening video I’ve ever seen. Watched a lot but this is the only one I didn’t find anything to complain about.

[@user-TJK]

Beautifull machine and craftmanship dude. Kudos.

[@Apollo440]

Tomato and paper shaving, this is a first for me! Watching this makes you want to have such a round, self-turning & watering whetstone.

Awesome job I'm one who believes that you sharpen/cut the steel into/towards the blade not away from it creating a burr or roll out same way I sharpen into my bar on my stihl chainsaw chain into the tooth or cutting edge not away from it love the informative videos no ego of so much meaningless talk as 90% of all youtube videos thank you

Que buen afilador de cuchillos, la piedra pasa por el agua y asi, no se calienta el cuchillo, y la piedra no sufre desgaste por el agua, que buena herramienta me gustaría tener uno de esos afiladores..!! Muy buen tip para sacar filo..!! Excelente video..!!

[@thadblackwell2180]

The way it dented makes it look like extremely soft steel. How is it with AEB-L at a 61 RC or some of the properly HT'd CPMs

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

I have no idea to be honest. But, it is a cheap knife. Should try some more expensive ones then.

[@TerrapinCreations666]

As a guy who makes knives occasionally, that first part was hard to watch, but necessary I guess. hahaaa ")

Poor whetstone though, not just the knife. He hammered the knife against the whetstone 😮

Doing that to a good Raadvad knife is sacrilege, just start with a Chinese one!

[@2007bambino]

Love your video, people talk to much!

[@chadhauck1]

Jonas, just got my Tormek. Trying to figure out the whole angle piece. How accurate are you with figuring out the existing grind angle and matching it as closely as possible. Thank you.

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

Hello Richard! Congratulations, that’s one bad addiction you just started ;) I always sharpen knives at 20-25 degrees.. that works for me. But just play around. Less angle means very sharp, but not durable at all. Big angle means less sharp but very durable.

[@nurscathwill]

My grandfather had one of these run like a bicycle back in the late 50s

Nice precisen eye knife

[@christophertorres114]

I audibly gasped when he slapped that chisel into the edge, oh god. I thought he was just gonna drag it across the edge to dull it >_< Though when you have a tormek even a chunk like that aint hard to get rid of I'm sure.

The second wheel you put on I assume was a finer grit wheel? Just wondering where you purchased that, couldn’t find it on their site. Great job, awesome video, thanks!

[@drakedoragon3026]

Cool video, great job, and thanks for sharing. I do have one question though. Do you have the ability to put up descriptions on screen to explain more as you do it in post? For example: showing 250 grit vs 1000 grit when you use the grating bar? Just a suggestion. Thanks again.

Hello! my name is Michel I am from Brazil ... What is this mechanism? what stones did you use? very very good ... show

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

Hello Michel! The machine is called a ‘Tormek’ and model is ‘T8’. Standard stone and the Japanese 4000 grit stone 😉

[@fido8366]

Great, i have the similar tool at home, i'll repair it and try to use for sharpening my knives...🤔😏

[@adoniran07]

Wow what a nice top machine , job well done , shame not having this machine here in Brazil , if you had a more compact version to send to us , I sharpen hairdressing scissors and knives but my machine is very rustic so changing the grinding wheel is difficult and dresar also , if you have something used there even get in touch , thank you .

[@vidiodisekitarkitasemua]

[@lelandwight8362]

Curious why you didn’t use the strop, optional or not appropriate?

[@andrewwatts8485]

You have a good eye.. well done

[@andrewwatts8485]

Still a strop would have made it even sharper.. not entirely sure why.

[@raymondoreilly7569]

Great video, I have a T8, 2 questions, how come you didn't use the red marker on the blade first? And you didn't stropp the knife?

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

Hello Raymond Thanks for the question. Well, I think I decided to set the angle at 22 degrees (2 x 14, if I remember correctly), and from that proceeded. And next, you don’t have to strop after using the Japanese stone, as it is way more fine than the honing paste. Among a few things I did wrong in this video years ago, I used way too much much time on sharpening it, and I now know that when sharpening with a Tormek, you have to do the following: 5-10 continuous passes each on each side, then followed by 5-10 strokes one side at the time (switching side every single pass), and so you keep minimising the burr until it brakes off leaving a super razor sharp edge. Does that make sense?
