Delivered by Royal Mail in the past few minutes, a very cold Santoku made by Blenheim Forge in Peckham (I attended a knife sharpening class there just before the start of the pandemic).
Knife sharpening class? Tell me more...
A couple of hours on a Saturday morning. Six in the class.
My grandfather taught me how to sharpen blades when I was a sprog.
I always considered myself to be adept at sharpening knives.
These lessons took the edges of my knives to another level.
Recommended.
The only disappointment was that given that it's a forge, I was anticipating fire, sparks and general industrial clamour.
Alas, the day I was there none of the above were available.
ETA - Top Tip - If you want sharp knives, steer clear of stainless steel blades.
Carbon Steel FTW.
ETFA - I've just tried their website to see if they're still doing the classes/cost/etc, but I'm at work and not allowed to look at knives/weapons whilst at work
