"Just attended a knife sharpening class taught by Robbie — he was patient and broke down every step for sharpening blades by hand. Over the last month I've also bought a bunch of knives both online and in-store, and the staff has been incredibly helpful every time. Highly recommend visiting and supporting this local Canadian business!"
"I thought the class was very interesting and informative about knife sharpening. I learned a lot about sharpening techniques. I really enjoyed the hands on part of the session. The two hours flew by and I wish we had more time to sharpen our knives. Definitely a great course if you want to sharpen your own knives properly. The store and staff are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about knives."
"The knife sharpening class and it was fantastic, the instructor was very knowledgable and explained things well. I've always been curious how to use a whetstone and it was satisfying to learn with hands on experience, plus my old knife is sharpened! It was a worthwhile experience and I was glad to have done it."
"I had a great time at the sharpening class. I travelled from Kitchener and It was totally worth the travel time. (here to hoping they open a Kitchener store) Everyone at the store was very helpful, friendly and kind. I felt welcomed which is very hard to come by specifically in retail enviroment. I had a basic understanding of using stones but needed some extra guidance because i felt that i was not getting the edge i wanted from my knives. Robbie did a great job at helping me clear some of those doubts. I had a few more questions but i'm pretty sure folks at knifewear would be more than helpful to answer those when I visit next time. I had a pleasure of talking to Miachel at the store who let me try some of the knives I always wanted to try and help me guide for my future possible purchases. As ex industry person Miachel was very good at answering very task specific questions I had about some specific knives and shapes. I would highly recommend this class to everyone."
"Brought us through the basics with a demonstration and set us sharpening right away. Good setup. Provided guidance and feedback as we sharpened. Highly recommended"
"This was a great class and the instructor was super knowledgeable and helpful. I left with the basic skills that have allowed me to sharpen multiple knives at home since the course and would recommend. ."
"Amazing guidance and long lasting education. Ryan allowed me to get the edge on the situation and gave me skills to hone moving forward. The course gave us a foundation to develop not only skills, but a passion for knife maintenance. I recommend it for anyone wishing to bridge the gap between user and custodian. Thank you."
"I never knew how much I wanted to know how to sharpen knives until I took this course. Took it with my best friend, we both have a passion for cooking, and nerd out about cooking related equipment. The knife wear"
"I have started to look into and get into the world of Japanese knives and purchased two. Wanting to be able to sharpen them myself thought I should take the class. It was excellent lots of good information and able to get hands on with a lot of the gear they sell to help figure out what you want to purchase. Colin did the class and he was awesome. Can’t recommend it enough!"
"- I enjoyed myself at this class. Our instructor was easy to understand and entertaining. The first half of the class was informative. The second half was hands on with a chance to apply the learned skills. Overall it was well worth the money for anyone who is interested to learn to sharpen their own knives."
