One-on-one at Kitchen Provisions in Kings Cross. The guy who taught me does the Blenheim Forge classes too - he was good. Went very quickly, nothing too surprising, just good detailed instruction.
I made a video of him going through the process quickly at the end - total life saver and I waited so long before actually doing my other knives I’d forgotten most of it.

New knife day. Needed a new bread knife and got carried away when I saw the snazzy matching kitchen knife, totally ignoring my resolution to wait until I could get my hands on something and see how it feels. It was cheap enough and first impressions are very good! Also got a whetstone and my ancient knife is sharper than it has been in a long time, I'm hoping with some practice I can get a properly sharp edge going! The stone I have is 1000/3000 grit, is there any practical need for anything finer than that?
