Interesting that Spain is missing from Tormek's International pages, do they not sharpen things in Spain?

;D ;D  You can be secure that there are sharpen knives in Spain...

I woul like to refer to one kind of knive concretelly:  HAM KNIFE
There are thousands upon thousands of ham knives in Spain. Only these types of knives should make to Tormek think about the possibility of adding the Spanish language to your website.  ;D
By the way. These knives have great difficulty sharpening. They are very flexible and this adds a lot of difficulty in maintaining the consistency of the angle. (Between 12 to 15 dps)
The SVM-140 is the appropriate jig for this kind of knives.

(excuse my joking tone)

Josu,

I am so looking forward to getting back to Spain in October.  Can't wait to have some more ham!  Last time I had it I was in Granada ... in 2016.

Kind regards,
Rich

I know Granada. It´s a wonderfull place. Awesome scenery, very good people, perfect weather and... very good food (ham too).

My last time in Granada was in 2017 (Hollydays in august). I live in Basqe Country, 1000km north.

I think is possible that Tormek people like ham and do anything about this language theme...  ;)

I hope to visit my sister and her husband who live in Barcelona. Ham is one of the must haves on my list.
Sharpen the knife blade
Hone edge until perfection
Cut with joy and ease

Ham knives and long salmon filleting knives can be sharpened very well on a home made small knife rest, imo noticeably better than with the SVM-140 clamp.
