Knife and Tool Sharpening
by Kyle Shirk
Learn to sharpen knives or tools with nothing but a single whetstone and knowhow. Focus will be on why and how the process works, and lots of hands-on practice. Students will be able to bring their own items to sharpen, and be able to restore almost any edge to razor sharp. Students may also practice sharpening using knives provided by Outsider Folk School. The sharpening stones will be available for purchase once the class is finished.
Materials: All materials and safety equipment will be provided by the teacher through the material fee. Students may bring any knives or hand tools they are interested in sharpening but we will have tools to practice on. Additionally, students will have the option of purchasing sharpening stones after class.
