Frequently Asked Questions
Will the machine damage my knife?
Absolutely not. We use the Tormek T-8 Water-Cooled System, which is fundamentally different from dry bench grinders that ruin knives.
- Zero Heat: The stone runs in a water bath, keeping the steel cool and preserving the temper (hardness) of your blade.
- Slow Speed: It rotates at a slow 90 RPM, removing steel gently and precisely, unlike high-speed grinders that strip metal aggressively.
- Precision Jigs: We use exact angle guides to ensure perfect geometry restoration before finishing by hand on Japanese stones.
Why use a machine at all?
For geometry correction and chip repair, the Tormek is superior to hand stones. It allows us to remove damaged steel evenly and consistently without creating "dips" in the profile. Once the structural work is done, we switch to traditional Japanese whetstones for the final refining and polishing. It's the best of both worlds.
The Process
Inspection
We examine the blade for straightness, chips, and steel type to determine the optimal sharpening angle.
Stone Progression
Starting with coarse stones to establish geometry, moving to medium for the edge, and fine for polish.
Finishing
Stropping on leather with diamond compounds to remove micro-burrs for a razor-sharp finish.
