I’m teaming up with Chad Hitsman, owner of Edgetech Sharpening in Historic Valley Junction, to offer a hands-on Knife Skills + Knife Care class in my home.Chad is a master sharpener who has been honing (yes—literally honing!) his craft for most of his adult life. This class gives you the chance to join in on our long, geeky conversations about choosing, using, and maintaining truly good knives.
Bring your favorite chef’s or santoku knife.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
From Chad
• How to choose a high-quality knife
• How to recognize a sharp edge—and how to keep it that way
• A sharpness test on your knife
• Professional sharpening of your knife during class
• Step-by-step instruction on sharpening it yourself
• Best practices for maintaining your edge at home
From Me
• How to hold and use your knife safely
• Knife techniques that improve speed, precision, and confidence
• Hands-on practice with real ingredients: how to cut a mango, pineapple, herbs, veggies and a whole chicken
• How to turn what we cut into soup and a salad
You will go home with:
• A pair of new Wüsthof serrated paring knives
• A ceramic knife honing rod
• Access to high-quality whetstones available for purchase
