"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 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."

My knives have never been sharper. No tomato is safe."
