We’ll show you how to sharpen your knives yourself. Discover the techniques, handy tips, and everything you need to know to get started at home!
Are you interested in the culinary world and the secrets of sharpening? Then sign up for this masterclass.
We’ll teach you how to get your knives razor-sharp in a sustainable way. We’ll provide you all with a set of professional sharpening stones during the masterclass. You can optionally purchase these afterwards. The practical guidance from Sander and Brecht will help you get the movements down pat.
You’ll get to know the influence of steel to achieve the desired sharpness of your knife. Each participant brings at least one knife to sharpen. This immediately gives us a wide spectrum of different types of steel that we can compare. There will also be a number of Mknives available that are made of particularly hard, yet easy to sharpen steel. You can come and test all these things. By the end of this masterclass, you’ll have no excuse to use a dull knife in your kitchen!
Sander and Brecht work together as artisanal knife maker and sharpener. With Mknives, Sander has put Belgian knife making back on the map and works on trendy custom projects and his own collection. You can find Brecht under the name Chef & Knife with his own sharpening service. He is also specialized in Japanese kitchen knives.

Tip for participants: make sure your knife is well wrapped so you can safely take it home. (e.g. roll it in a sturdy kitchen towel)
