Looking to sharpen your knife skills? Join Chef Matt Jones and Tony Evans of Hometown Hone for a workshop where you'll learn safe knife handling, essential techniques, proper care, and how to choose the right knives. You'll also get hands-on practice making dinner with your neighbors. Bring your knife from home to get sharpened! During the workshop, Hometown Hone will be able to sharpen one knife per guest while we practice our skills with Chef Matt, before demonstrating knife care while we enjoy our dinner.
