Sharpening by Hand Workshops
Due to COVID-19, workshops are suspended until further notice.
Learn how to sharpen your knives, scissors, workshop and garden tools by hand.
People often tell us...
"I do like to sharpen my knife and I can get it kind of sharp. But it's not 'really' sharp, and it doesn't stay sharp for very long."
What they are experiencing, from what they are doing, is exactly what I was doing, until I discovered the information we share in our workshops.
"An invaluable experience in a nurturing environment" - Rick and Holly.

This is what Bob said..
"I attended a knife sharpening workshop recently with Tama and Pippa of Sharp as Sharpening at the Eynesbury Mens Shed.
This was the most valuable ninety minutes I’ve spent for a long time.
Tama gave a brief and informative introduction to the science behind sharpening knives, then a demonstration followed by the whole class having lots of practice time with their own knives supervised and coached by Tama and Pippa. Every participant had their own sharpening stones and equipment supplied by Tama so we were all able to take full advantage of the practical time.
I came away with two much sharper kitchen knives and confident that, with a bit more practice, I will soon have nothing but razor sharp knives in our kitchen.
Very many thanks to Tama and Pippa for helping me to become “Sharp As”

Cheers Bob. You're awesome!

Keeping It Simple Simon.
Sharpening is simple - create a consistent angle along the edge of the blade.
"Doing it easy, requires practice. Doing it smart, is what you're practicing." - Confusedas, since ages ago.
In our workshops we break the sharpening process down into 7 easy steps to get your knife sharp as.
Each step addresses a key component in helping you create a consistent angle along the edge of the blade.
The learning is fun and interactive, with the focus on getting you on the stone sharpening sharp as, straight for the edge!
Do you need to bring anything?
Before each workshop we will email you with the items required for the workshop.
You will be required to bring the items you will be sharpening to the workshop.
We provide the sharpening equipment. You are welcome to bring any sharpening equipment you already have at home, at the end of the workshop we can discuss if they are suitable for you.
Your hands will get dirty, - we have heaps of wipes, and you may want to dress with this in mind.
Pay Once, Play Forever Guarantee
Because life is practice, we want to encourage you to keep practicing.
Once you have attended one of our workshops, you can attend that workshop forever, for free!
We do give priority to new participants if workshops are full, meaning; if there is extra space you are welcome, and you may need to bring your own sharpening equipment.
Full payment of the retail price of the first workshop you attend is required before future workshops can be attended on the Pay Once, Play Forever Guarantee.
Bookings are essential.
You can book online by completing the Sharpening Workshops Booking Form on this page.
Workshops are limited to a minimum of 6, and maxim of 10 participants.
We can only confirm your place at a workshop once we have received your payment.
