Workshops sharpening

Is this workshop for me? 

This workshop is made for both beginners and advanced users and would like to learn something about sharpening kitchen knives on a Belgian sharpening stone with water using the Japanese method. Given the maximum number of 10 people per workshop, this allows for individual guidance. It is with great pleasure that I pass on my passion for sharpening to you.

What do I need to bring myself? 
Bring your most used kitchen knives. Certainly also a chef's knife (high blade). This knife is used for learning the actions. A paring knife and a mill knife are sharpened in a different way. Only knives with a smooth edge are eligible.

Organization of the workshop

We work in my studio, but if the weather is good, we can sit outside. I provide the sharpening stones, cutting paper, tomatoes for the test, ...

Safety

High-speed machines are not useful. No special safety measures need to be taken. Cutting your fingers is part of the job. We provide a first-aid kit. Participation at your own risk.
