About this event

KNIFE SHARPENING COURSE

LEARN • SHARPEN • CARE

A hands-on course designed to teach you how to sharpen your own kitchen knives with confidence.


THEORY SESSION

We’ll start with a short theory session covering whetstones, knife angles and edge care.

LIVE DEMONSTRATION

Watch a full sharpening demonstration and learn the techniques step by step.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE

You’ll have plenty of time to sharpen your own knives with our guidance throughout.

If you have whetstones, bring them with you.

CARE FOR THE KNIVES YOU USE

Bring along your own blunt kitchen knives — ideally a chef’s knife and a small utility or paring knife.

The goal is to learn how to care for the knives you actually use.

SHARPENING KITS AVAILABLE

Sharpening kits will be available to buy at a discounted rate after the course.
