    Tormek isn't green (should it be?) but a) has all the 'extras' b) Has pretty good all round reviews. c) Has a good warranty. Seems to ring a green bell? Is it worth the 'extra' money? Any views please. For kitchen knives and flat chisels, totted up to around £600 which had me wincing. If not...
