It’s the Most Important Tool in your kitchen… while hiking or traveling… and on your homestead.
Stay Sharp. Hone Your Blade.

Knives are mankind’s oldest tool. It’s hard to think of any object more versatile and necessary in the home, in the shop, on the homestead, or even out camping in the woods… than a knife. 

How much time do you waste trying to use a dull blade? 

How much money do you lose (especially on expensive sharpening services or gadgets that do more harm than good)? 

Do you ruin your kitchen knives opening boxes? Or your sewing scissors cutting paper? Do you use the right knives for the right jobs in the kitchen?

And what about sharpening stones? What kind should you use? Do they have to be expensive?

Knife sharpening might be shrouded in mystery, but it is not complicated or expensive.

And once you learn how to choose the right knife… sharpen it properly… wield it well… and use it safely, you’ll never look back.

You’ll be able to avoid situations like these:

… You’re cutting up a slippery whole chicken with a dull knife. You use tremendous force. The knife slips…

… You’re leaving the campsite… and are blocked in by a downed tree. There’s no cell service and no one around. You have an ax in the car, but it’s so dull that it takes you several hours to clear the road. 

… You’re building a chicken coop. Your drill bit is dull. Again. Now you have to stop the momentum, head to the hardware store, and purchase a new one… all because you don’t know how to sharpen what you have.

… You’re at the sewing machine, making your kid’s costume. Your scissors are ripping the fabric, not cutting it properly. It’s 9 o’clock at night, and the performance is tomorrow. Now what?

… The goats are hungry. You’re trying really hard to break that impermeable plastic feed bag with your keys… and then with a dull knife. You spend an extra 15 minutes looking around for something – anything – sharp enough to get it done. (And you still have to cut baling twine on the hay!)

… You’re chopping vegetables for dinner. It’s slow, loud – thunk, thunk –, tedious work. You hate this knife. It always gives you a callus from pushing down so hard. Why can’t dinner prep be more pleasant? you think.

These are just a few of the scenarios where basic knowledge about effective knife sharpening and usage could save you time, money, and frustration.

That’s why he starts his class by teaching you how to pick the right tool for the right job (including his favorite knife for the kitchen).

You might think you need a really expensive, high-end knife to do certain jobs well. 

But whether you’re fileting a fish or opening a box, the quality of the blade itself isn’t as important as your ability to keep it sharp. And that’s what Patrick teaches you next.

He shows you how to sharpen your knives using items you probably have lying around your house or workshop. 

For those wanting more advanced techniques and tools, he goes over the exact setup he has used to sharpen thousands of blades. You won’t believe how sharp you can get a knife! (Although you can stop where you’re comfortable.)

The other super important Traditional Skill here, of course, is using that sharp blade safely.

For this, Patrick gives you the same tutorial on kitchen knife safety that he gives all of his children… showing you exactly how to break down a chicken. (Trust us, you’ve been doing it all wrong.)
