Sounds like you enjoyed the course.
You are less likely to injure yourself with a sharp knife that you are with a blunt one.
With the blunt one the chances are that you are applying more pressure, and more likely to have the blade slip off whatever you are trying to cut.

It was good, had a bit of a chatterbox who was talking and asking a lot of questions when i just wanted to hear the instructor talk us through things.
But learnt a lot and just want to put it all into practice, need to buy a wooden block leather strop to finish the sharpening and/or use to keep the edge after use, and a whetstone holder, but seen a couple on Etsy/eBay so will make do until I can pull the trigger..Also liked the fact it was a small course of 4, plenty of chances to get instructors feedback and insight..

Did the knife sharpening course and it’s a revelation to have a sharp knife back in the house! Can sense how sharp it is and it makes me a bit nervous, only having had fairly blunt knives to work with for the last couple of years, which you could handle anyway you wanted.
Really itching to get the other knives in the rack equally as sharp. Have a day or two to myself Christmas week when I can get into them. Also need to practice what I’ve been taught before I forget what I’ve been taught..
