Cooking Class: Whetstone Knife Sharpening Fundamentals - 10/25/26

We're delighted to welcome back longtime friend of the shop, 25-year veteran of restaurants, owner of Valley Sharp, and knife sharpener by trade Darin Gagner for a deep dive on the fundamentals, process, and equipment for sharpening your own knives on whetstones.

Join us in our demo kitchen for a hands-on clinic where we'll cover: whetstone selection and care, finding and maintaining angles, apexing, burr creation and removal, and honing. Knives for practice will be provided.

Class is limited to 8 people and is hands-on.

Please note that event registration is non-refundable and non-transferable between classes. Pricing includes $130 ticket + applicable sales tax + $2.50 transaction fee.
