Learn the basics of SAFE, Proper Knife Care and Usage in just a few hours…
Do you deliberately keep your knives dull?
Perhaps that’s a silly question, but lots of people are genuinely terrified of a sharp knife.
So they use a dull one. And in the kitchen or especially when butchering animals… that can lead to an ER visit.
If you want your chores to be more pleasant, safer, and to go more quickly, then you need a sharp knife.
But first, you need the right knife.
As a homesteader, professional knifemaker, and father of 12, Patrick Roehrman understands the needs for both knife safety and knife effectiveness.
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.)
After taking this step-by-step knife sharpening class, you’ll:
- Know what to look for in a good knife
- Pick the right tool for the right job
- Sharpen with confidence and ease
- Safe time and money on your tasks
- Extend the life of your knives, scissors, axes, saws, shovels, drill bits, and other tools
- Know how to let the knife – not your force – do the work, especially in the kitchen
- Store your knives properly
- And want to sharpen everything in sight!
You’ll know exactly what supplies to get. You’ll learn exactly how to figure out the correct angles for sharpening, how to get the strokes right, and how many to perform.
You’ll learn how to properly hold a knife, how to store a knife (especially in the kitchen), and how to maintain a knife so that it lasts for years and years.
And you won’t believe how affordable and simple it all is.
Once you start using a properly sharpened knife correctly and safely, you’ll wonder how you ever made do with dull ones.
Meet Your Instructor:
Patrick Roehrman of MT Knives
Patrick Roehrman is a knife maker and bladesmith from Missouri whose handmade knives include highly collectible neck knives, custom hunting knives, custom survival knives, bushcraft knives, and other hand-forged knives. For over a decade, Patrick has been sharpening and making knives. In 2013, he launched the Stakeholder Program, which crashed his website and sold out in under 7 minutes. Patrick had jumped into the deep end and knew he had found a way to meet a need.
As a young boy, he was fascinated by ads for knives that “never get dull” or could saw through bricks and still slice a tomato cleanly. But he came to discover that there is no holy grail knife that never gets dull.
The solution was simple, yet would require years of knowledge and practice to master. His first attempts at sharpening a knife were disappointing and disheartening. But now he’ll save you the burden of those mistakes and teach you the right techniques from the start!
Join Patrick in his workshop as he walks you through what you need to know to select, sharpen, safely use, and maintain a variety of knives on your homestead.
