Did they teach you how to sharpen a curved blade? The curved sections on my bayonets have defeated me. I just cannot get them remotely sharp.

Think the technique he showed us could be used on a curved blade, the only bit that I found difficult/weird was trying to do the tip of my chefs knife..
You need to raise the handle as you’re sharpening to go round the tip.
I didn’t quite figure out how to do that in the time I was there..
Technique instructor taught us was that you broke the knife down into sections the longer the knife the more sections you’d need to do..

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..
