Fantastic class. Highly recommended. Nari was a great teacher - I learned a lot. I had been putting of sharpening at home because I was worried about damaging my nice knives - this gave me a lot of confidence. Perfect amount of time too - I didn’t feel rushed and I managed to get a bunch of my knives sharpened. Thanks Nari!

Very valuable experience and knowledge you gain from it is amazing. Nari's teaching structure is really good, giving you the concepts and hands on experience for knives you'll typically use in the kitchen. After attending the session, have more confidence in myself in sharpening my Japanese knives. Key take out, blunt knives are dangerous in the kitchen however extremely sharp knives may not work either. The sharpness is to be fit for purpose.
