Knife Sharpening Workshop: Kitchen Knives

Knife Sharpening Workshop: Kitchen Knives In-Person

Learn how to sharpen your kitchen knives from local woodworker Ken Bownes!
In this class you'll learn about the mechanics of knife sharpening, then put your knowledge to the test by using a whetstone to sharpen your own kitchen knife. Participants are invited to bring one 8” or 10” chef's knife per person to this class to sharpen. Only straight-edged chef's knives will work for this class - no serrated knives, please. This program is for adults ages 18+ only.
All attendees are required to wrap up their knives and store them in a bag when bringing them into the library building. Remember that transporting knives can be dangerous if done improperly, so please be safe when bringing in knives for class. If you're not sure how to safely store your knife for transportation, please watch this video for help. Participants attempting to carry unprotected knives into the library may be asked to leave the building.
Free. Ages 18+ only. Registration is required. This class will take place in the Blasco Library's community classroom. 
Important! If you have registered for one or more people and you are unable to attend, please be sure to cancel your registration as well as any guests so that others can move into your spot(s).
