Knife Sharpening with Dennis Snedden: Whetstone Tips, Tools, & Techniques

Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall

All ages

ActivityCommunityFree

@ Just in time for Thanksgiving, it’s a hands-on workshop on sharpening and caring for your knives! A well-sharpened edge is much safer and more effective than a dull one, and with a little guidance, anyone can learn to keep their knife edges in excellent condition. Experienced sharpener Dennis Snedden will teach participants how to keep their own knives sharp and ready to use. Each participant should bring two or three 5″-10″ kitchen knives (non-serrated); a diamond, oil, or water stone (if you have one); a honing rod or steel (if you have one); your knife edge questions; and a will to learn! You will learn the best and safest techniques for honing a fine edge. Come with dull knives – leave with safer, sharper, functional edges! No ceramic knives, hair or sewing scissors, please. 18 years and older, please. A suggested donation of $15 will be put towards funding the 2027 Summer Reading Program. Space is limited, so please click here to register!
