Hi everybody,
after decades of using a Lansky sharpening system with more or less success I recently bought a dirty, but not much used Tormek 1200. It sat for a long time in a box with a lot of accessories. It ran, but after 10min the motor lost power. Since the Tormek construction is more than simple, the problem was easily identified: dead motor condensator. After replacing it, the machine is running fine.
Over the time I gathered quite a collection of kitchen knives. One of them, a Zwilling chef knive (20cm) is quite worn. The heel (is this the correct terminus technicus?) is longer than the blade, giving the knive a negative curve at the end.
What would be the correct procedure to repair this?
