It is worth noting that the T-2 is designed for kitchen knives rather than heavier or more specialist blades — operators with a broader range of cutting tools should consider whether a wider-capability model would be more appropriate. Similarly, very high-volume operations sharpening large numbers of knives daily may find a higher-capacity unit better suited to their throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-2 is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and similar sites where keeping knives sharp in-house is preferable to relying on an external service.

Cast iron holds heat effectively once up to temperature, which means the grill recovers more quickly between consecutive uses than thinner pressed steel alternatives.
