How to Sharpen a Tanto Knife on a Tormek T-8

Tormek’s sharpening expert shows how to sharpen a tanto knife using the Tormek T-8 Original. It's a precise and repeatable method for blades with two separate cutting edges. In this video, you will learn how to: – Sharpen a tanto knife with a black blade coating while preserving the finish – Use the Tormek T-8 Original – Sharpen edge trailing on the SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone – Set up the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig to sharpen both bevels evenly – Find the correct sharpening angle using the edge marker method – Adjust the honing angle accurately with the KS-123 Knife Angle Setter Tanto knives require special attention because the blade has two distinct cutting edges that meet at a sharp angle and must be sharpened separately. This guided sharpening approach helps maintain correct geometry and ensures the coating remains untouched except along the cutting edges. With Tormek’s jigs and angle control, you achieve consistent precision and professional results every time.
