T1 or T4?
Hello,
Besides my hunting knives I want to sharpen boning and butchering knives. Some of them are smaller than 1,2 cm, especially towards the tip. Can I sharpen them anyway with the T1, wich I would prefer, or would a T4 be better suited for these knives?
Thank you!
Best regards!

The Tormek T-1 is designed specifically for kitchen knives, and it works best with blades that have a relatively standard shape and height. For boning knives, butchering knives, and especially hunting knives — which often become very narrow toward the tip — the T-1 is not the right solution.
For your type of use, the Tormek T-4 is definitely the better choice. With the T-4, you can sharpen all types of knives, including hunting knives, narrow boning knives, butchering knives, and many other blade styles. It gives you full control over angles and support, making it much more suitable for your needs.
