Learn how to establish, refine, and polish a razor sharp edge, and care for your sharpening stones. Our knife sharpening classes are taught by professional knife sharpeners with years of experience. Building on the basics taught in our beginner class, the intermediate class will show you how to use multiple stones to create a refined and polished edge, as well as diving deeper into the philosophy of how and when to sharpen. We will also cover stropping, as well as whetstone maintenance, and reserve some time to answer your questions. Please feel free to sign up for this class even if you haven't taken our beginner class. We will move at a slightly faster pace, and go a little bit more in depth, but no previous sharpening experience is required. Date & Time Each class will be about 3 hours and will be held about once a month. Due to the space, class sizes are limited to 5 people. *If you want to cancel let us know at least 3 business days before, or you will not be refunded. Location This class will be held in our Sharpening Annex, inside of our store at 1532 NE Alberta Street, Portland, OR 97211.
