Kitchen Kapers messed up my knives beyond repair and they "fixed" the problem by rounding off the tips of both knives. I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you though! It's really heartbreaking to have a knife ruined. They are precious tools and I'm surprised by how emotional it made me to have them damaged like that.

Hey thanks! I got in touch with them earlier today actually - they don't have any non-industry workshops right now but they are planning something in the next month or so with Hudson Table in NoLibs so I am keeping an eye out for that. But maybe in the meantime I should see if this person can fix the botched job on my knives.

If you read my post, I have reasons for not wanting to learn on YouTube. If you're going to just recommend YouTube, you could at least share some links or youtubers that you find helpful.

I'm planning on visiting Korin in a few weeks to buy myself a really fancy knife! Which is also why I want to sharpen myself 😁 I would just die if I got to take a class with this guy. Do you happen to know who orchestrated the demonstration? I can also get in touch with Korin to see if they have any future workshops planned.

Kitchen Kapers. My two chefs knives came back with the tips chipped off and bent. It looked like they had been dropped on their tips. To "repair" the issue, the store ground the tips off which took the whole tip off one knife. I've never dropped these knives- I noticed the issues as soon as I got home. The knives were wrapped for transit. The store only reluctantly refunded me for the sharpening after arguing with me and telling me I shouldn't put my knives in the dishwasher (which I never have? And I didn't use or clean the knives before noticing the issue. I unwrapped them as soon as I got home) and telling me the tips would form points again after repeated sharpening (as a home cook, I only sharpen my knives 1x-2x per year so that would take several years). I can no longer use the tips of these knives at all.

Thanks, I didn't even know oil sharpening was a thing so I will definitely be doing some research before I dive in.

You could also see if any thrift stores or buy nothing groups have a knife, then you can practice on it.

Yes a whetstone! Do you have any links or username recommendations for youtube? I'd rather learn in person but can at least start with some videos

What records? What's the ship name? I genuinely want to know these things since this ship has been posted a couple times here now.
