Seattle Edge

Want to learn how to sharpen knives free hand? I can teach you! I offer two sharpening classes:

  • The standard class (approximately 1.5 hours) and the intensive class (approximately 4.5 hours).
  • The intensive course is not only longer and more detailed than the standard course, but I will show you how to sharpen different knife styles.
  • The intensive course is tailored to the specific needs of the student.
  • If the student would rather focus on one style of knife for the entire class they are more than welcome to do so and will be instructed accordingly.

I teach small classes to ensure that each student learns as much as possible during the course.

I can show you how to sharpen almost any knife; from Western and Japanese kitchen knives, to outdoor and bushcraft knives.

After attending one of my classes you will have a strong understanding of knife sharpening and the different techniques one can use to sharpen almost any knife. Participants receive a 15% discount on all sharpening supplies.
