Now there's added incentive to purchasing a Tormek T-7 Sharpening System. From November 1 through the end of December, Tormek is offering a free EKA Chef's knife (valued at $165) with the purchase of a T-7. The Tormek sharpening systems make great gifts for the holidays. And if you act now, you get a bonus gift for yourself or for someone else who likes to cook.


The gourmet 13-inch chef's knife from Swedish knife maker EKA has a European Masur birch handle and the blade is made from high quality 12c27 Sandvik steel.

To take advantage of the offer after your purchase, simply register your Tormek at http://www.tormek.com/ and type "Free EKA-knife" in the comments section. You will receive a special form to complete and mail along with a copy of your receipt to the address indicated. More information can be found on the special offer flyer (PDF).

The Tormek sharpening systems are not inexpensive, but here's what Shelter's founder, Pat Hennin, wrote about discovering the value of a Tormek:

The convenience, speed and accuracy of this tool make my former concentration on short-term savings foolish . . . penny-wise and pound foolish as they say. By spending a little more (a good set of wet stones and guide start at about $250), we have saved thousands in time and labor.

We have the Tormek T-7 in stock, and you have sharpening to do and gifts to buy, so order your T-7 today.
