Description
Course objectives:
Our introductory sharpening course aims to teach students the practical and theoretical basics of water stone sharpening in the traditional Japanese way. At the end of the course, which lasts between 1h30 and 2h, participants will be able to sharpen their own knives at home.
Necessary for the course:
You'll need to bring a chef's size or santoku knife that needs sharpening. In addition, you'll need at least a 1000-grit water whetstone, which you can find in our store if you don't already own one. Ideally, an additional 3000 to 6000 grit polishing stone will help you achieve optimum results. A prior reading of the document for the Introduction to sharpening course.
