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..
The whetstone holder is a useful bit of kit.
I bought an ordinary strop and stuck it using double sided tape to a piece of 4 x 2.
Chrome leather (for finishing) on one side,
suede-ish leather (with a nap to it) on the other side.
