Put an edge on it (Knife Sharpening 101)

A sharp knife is the cornerstone of any culinary adventure, let's get you ready for it! Join us at Manchester Makerspace for a hands-on Knife Sharpening 101 workshop where you’ll learn how to properly sharpen your kitchen knives using Japanese waterstones. This is not a sit-back-and-watch kind of class. You’ll be working on your own knives with step-by-step guidance, learning the techniques that take your blades from dull to razor sharp. Bring up to two non-serrated knives from home and leave with them actually sharp (what a concept). If one needs a little extra love beyond class time,professionally finished and returned to you—no extra charge. What You’ll Learn: - How to hold and stabilize your knife properly - How to find and maintain the right sharpening angle - How to raise and recognize a burr - How to refine and finish your edge - How to maintain your knives so they don’t betray you again
