Welcome to our knife sharpening class!
Hello, KATABA friends!
Hope you enjoy this nice weather today!
We are thrilled to announce that, after a long wait, our sharpening classes have been restarted this month.
Today, I would like to give you a little glimpse into how the class looks!
Each session lasts 90 minutes and is held with one sharpener and three participants.
We begin with an introduction, covering the features of Japanese knives and how to choose the right whetstones, and so on.
And we give a short sharpening demonstration.
Then it is time to get hands-on!
Participants sharpen their own knives using their own whetstones—or, if you do not have your own, don’t worry! We have a knife and whetstones available for you to use.
Throughout the session, we will help you adjust your technique and explore using a different grit of whetstones.
Whether you are completely new to sharpening, have some experience but struggle to get the results you want, or are looking to improve your skills, everyone is very welcome!
We still have availability from July onwards, so do sign up—we would love to see you there!
Tomomi
