Tormek is fully focused on sharpening. All the product development, engineering work and production are made in Sweden. The company is located in Lindesberg, a small town in the heart of Bergslagen with a history in mining. The production is carried out in close cooperation with selected suppliers, all specialized and the best in their fields. This ensures the highest quality and a continuous access to the best and most modern manufacturing technology.
Once you have created the desired shape on the tool, for example a profiled turning gouge, with Tormek it is a quick job to re-sharpen it to exactly the same shape. The high level of control enabled by the jigs removes only a minimal amount of steel, making sharpening fast and at the same time you will get a very fine edge. Normally you will need to compromise between the two, fast sharpening or a fine edge.
