I used to sharpen my sister's knives when she lived in the same area. Alas, she recently moved far away and has not had sharpened knives since. She asked me about the equipment I use for sharpening knives, looking to get the same for herself. I didn't want to recommend the T-8 with the jigs as she just wants to sharpen her kitchen knives. Instead, I recommended she get the T-1.
She ordered one and received it late last week. I asked her what she thought about it: She replied, "Very easy to use!"

Rich,
There is something to be said for "very easy to use". You are obviously a T8 sharpener. I am pleased to know that Tormek also caters to cooks who want very sharp knives they can sharpen themselves with equipment very easy to use. Good choice.
