Insights from the yesteryear at Shelter Institute

If you've been waiting to purchase the Tormek T-7 Sharpening System, they're offering another good promotion. Purchase a T-7 in the month of June, and you'll receive a free knife jig and knife holder for the sharpening system (a $70 value).
The Tormek sharpening systems make great Father's Day gifts. And if you act now, you can ask your dad to sharpen your kitchen knives once he has his T-7 set up.
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. You have sharpening to do and Father's Day gifts to buy, so order your T-7 today.
