"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."
"I already had some basic sharpening practice, but wanted to really learn proper technique to get the most out of my knives and sharpening stones. Maddie was a fantastic teacher who gave fantastic instructions and very specific and useful feedback. She was also hilarious and made the whole class feel like hanging out with friends. My knives have never been sharper. No tomato is safe."

"Been going to Knifewear for years and the staff has always been great, super helpful and are always willing to help. Took a cutting class now if I can learn how to sharpen my knifes at home, it will be perfect. Thanks for having all the stuff you do and for taking care of the customer."
