Your knife is only as good as your sharpening skills. On this course we’ll explain the importance of different whetstones and teach the basic technique to get a razor sharp edge on any blade using Japanese whetstones. We’ll advise on how to maintain the knives after they’ve been sharpened, show you around the workshop and explain a bit about the knife making process.
