Element Knife review : Just attended Chef Elan’s sharpening class

Element Knife review :
Just attended Chef Elan’s sharpening class, outstanding! I have been sharpening for a few years and could produce a respectable edge ,however , attending Chef Elan’s class has taken my skills to a new level. Great coach, attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. Sharpening a knife or any edge can be frustrating and even somewhat daunting for a beginner. I can assure anyone considering taking this class will be well rewarded and leaving with the confidence that they can produce a very sharp quality edge. Chef Elan’s instruction as well as the products he offers are par excellence. Just do it, take the class.
