Dear Tormek Forum Community,

Once again we have great news, this time for all you knife sharpening enthusiasts out there!

Tomorrow we will be making two new products official. Namely two new, self-centering, patented knife jigs! Product pages will be published tomorrow Friday March 18. New live episodes in English, French, German and Swedish are to be expected quite soon as well.

We hope you are as excited about this as we are. Stay tuned – and stay sharp!

/Hugo and the Tormek Team

At last - waiting for so long - I'm really thrilled and great praise to the swedish constructors  ;D

Hello Kenn S
I have no doubt at all that Tormek use much innovation power continuously. But I also have to say that the sharpening world gets filled with more and more nerds :D And as regards self centering issues then in my opinion it's a problem which have been well known for years. Regarding company restraints ok, but a new innovation will always be a possibility. Hope something will pop up from the Tormeks in near future  ;)

Hello Forum
I first realized this problem about centering knives in the most used jigs SVM 45 and SVM 140 recently. I own a Goniometer and wondered why one side of the bevel was grinded 15 degrees and maybe the other side 13 degrees. So there is a offset in the jigs that compensate for most knives which are about 2-3 mm in the spine. But if you f.eks have a knife 1.5 mm at the spine a solution can be to fasten some tape to bring up the thickness of the spine. I know it's possible to buy centering jigs made of innovators that has nothing to do with Tormek - but also for a reasonable high price. Does anyone know if Tormek looks into this problem and maybe comes up with a solution? :)

Knife Sharpening / Leather strop
January 28, 2022, 08:21:58 AM
I have this Leather strop . Made to me by a friend - the raw side off the leather exposed. Next step is to apply some oil and then I have to decide if diamondspray or diamondpaste is most optimal. Could anyone tell ?

Hello
What's the secret about using a leather strop to finish up a knife. Is it there a grid material in the leather or ?
