Sharpening Print
Thursday, 07 August 2008, 19:30 - 22:00

A sharp knife is much safer than a blunt one. It cuts cleanly and does not slip, causing few accidents. Yet most people don’t know how to sharpen a knife and keep it sharp. This evening course, run by Bladesmith Karim Haddad, shows you the secrets of getting and maintaining a fine edge. Five different methods will be demonstrated in setting an edge as well as burr removal honing and touching up. Knife care and storage will also be covered to ensure you knife stays sharp. This will be followed with a practical session where you get to sharpen the three knives that you have brought with you.

Cost is $75 for the evening – 7:30pm until 10:00pm.

There is a maximum of only six participants per class.
