This weekend in St. Louis County, MN

Learn to restore dull kitchen knives and everyday blades in a hands-on class that explores both the how and the why of sharpening. Instruction covers selecting and using common sharpening tools, step-by-step methods for bringing back a clean edge, and simple routines that help blades stay sharp longer. You will practice on your own knives and leave with improved edges, practical skills, and the confidence to maintain them at home. Please bring a few knives to work on during class.
