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!

[@drmalloydeux]

Thanks!

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

[@davidruiz5383]

Great work, my question:the 1st stone SG250, what was the 2nd stone. thanks

[@davidruby7408]

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

[@SquishyThing]

He is, the stone spins cockwise

[@michaelhanna7720]

Lovely narration.

[@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?

[@paddylandreville8501]

Talk about set up, you have it down pat. Thanks for posting.

[@JamesFunkify]

well done. I noticed you used the small jig for the knife. Any reason why? I'm new to Tormek-got my machine last week. Serious learning curve!

That hurt my ears when you ran it over the tormek wheel! hahaha. Great video!!

[@HorseLakeSharpening]

Hi Jonas and greetings from Canada. Not sure if you check comments, but a question: do you hone after the SJ-250? Do you find longevity without honing? Thanks! Have a great day in the shop,.

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

[@kirilvasilev1081]

So, you didn''t use Tormek honing wheel, please tell me - is it Japanese water stone better for finish vs honing with leather wheel and Tormek paste

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

Hello Kiril You’re absolutely right. The finish you get from the Japanese stone is much finer than the honing wheel, + you get a total even bevel, because it’s still fixed in the jigg 🙂

[@فارسصلاح-ط6ج]

What is japanese machine​@@formgjortbyJonasAls

[@nicholasa6291]

Nice set up.

[@danbrown6529]

What was the second wheel you switched to? And you still used the grader on the second wheel?

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

It’s the Japanese stone 4000 grit. I use the stone grader, but other says it will contaminate the fine stone. Well, I’ve never had that issue, but sounds plausible though.

[@Hullspeed]

Great video! I’m still learning with the T8. My results with the SG-250 and leather and paste are so so (not razor sharp) maybe because my skill isn’t there. If I intend to get the SJ-250, is there any reason I should consider the extra fine diamond 1200? You went straight from the SG-250 to the SJ-250 and it worked great. That seems like a solution.

[@Musicpins]

Ist that a japanese waterstone you switch to during the end? the 4000 grit they also sell?

[@formgjortbyJonasAls]

Yeah, that stone makes one crazy edge!

[@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.

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.

[@Bialy_1]

heh, przecież on to maszynowo ostrzył w uchwytach i w ogóle... to nie jest ostrzenie z wolej ręki jak na wielu filmikach. Ostrości też tu nie zaprezentował jakiejś wybitnej. Bez problemu znajdziesz filmiki dobrych noży z alliexpres (bodajże xinzuo) gdzie koleś tnie kartki prawie równolegle do ostrza i nie zaczynając od krawędzi tylko samo wybrzuszenie na powierzchni kartki wystarcza do tego żeby nóż jak w masło wchodził... a do ostrzenia noży z wolnej ręki to polecam filmiki z kanału burffection.
