Frost Magazine has raved about the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener before – with its fine-grained diamond grinding wheel, it’s both exquisitely beautiful and incredibly useful. The first real knife sharpener for the home chef, it sharpens the entire bevel of the knife, achieving professional sharpness in minutes. But such a beautiful piece of engineering should not be kept hidden, so I’m excited to report that Tormek have just released a new model – a powder-coated zinc body in NEW SWEDISH RED. Inspired by the classic red cottages with white trim that define the Scandinavian landscape, it feels unmistakably Swedish. The warm, matte red finish is complemented by a light birch handle, echoing the natural materials and bright wood details found in traditional Swedish craftsmanship.
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener in NEW SWEDISH RED, RRP £342, is available from shop.tormek.co.uk and comes with an eight year warranty.
But that’s not all. I said two announcement, so… Green Pan have announced their new Frost Soft Serve & Frozen Drinks Maker.
