Class Description

Description

Maximize your culinary efficiency by mastering the fundamentals of knife care and maintenance in this practical, hands-on workshop. You will gain comprehensive knowledge of blade angles, sharpening stones, and proper honing methods that maintain razor-sharp edges. Led by Nicholas Beaulieu, proprietor of Chicago Knife Center, you will work with your own knives, practice assessing blade sharpness accurately, and learn how consistent maintenance enhances both safety and cooking enjoyment. This foundational knowledge transforms knife work from a potential frustration into a pleasure.

You are welcome to bring up to two knives from your home kitchen for sharpening during the class; note that sharpening results will depend on the current condition of your blades. Serrated knives should not be brought to class, as they require specialized sharpening techniques beyond this course's scope.
