Join Chef Elan Wenzel, owner of Element Knife Company, for an in-depth knife sharpening class. With over 20 years of experience working with Japanese cutlery and tools, Chef Elan will guide you through the fundamentals of sharpening. Whether you're passionate about knives or just looking to restore a dull blade, this class will help you decide if sharpening is a skill you’d like to master.

In this hands-on clinic, you'll learn how to create a 50:50 symmetrical double-bevel edge, hone your knife to razor-sharp precision, and maintain its sharpness over time.
