Sharpening by Hand Workshops

In our Sharp As Sharpening Workshops you will learn how to sharpen your knives, and workshop and garden tools by hand.

The workshops are interactive and fun, and break the sharpening process down into 'easy to do' steps you will have with you for life.

We provide the sharpening equipment, and you are welcome to bring anything you already have at home.

Each workshop is focused on sharpening specific items with both Basic and Advanced classes.
