Craftsy Knife Class and Lesson 1

Craftsy is offering an on-line video course on knife skills. It requires an account (an email address and a password) to access. So free from monetary payment, but they'll likely market to you afterwards.

If you want to take this course, be sure to read their Terms of Use and their Privacy Policy to be sure it meets your expectations.  One of their terms of use is that they may withdraw an application at any time so this class may not always be available or free.

I'm always interested in learning new things and brushing up my skills, and the price was right so I signed up. I'll make a review post with my comments and related insight for each lesson. They'll make sense in the context of the lesson, but might be disjointed if you read them without also watching the lesson. Hopefully it will help you decide if you want to take the class or offer alternative perspectives if you do take the class.

The first lesson is a short introduction to the Craftsy classes. It's just under a minute and is mostly self promoting their site which is to be expected. So the rest of the posts will begin with lesson 2.

Lesson 1: How to use your free mini class
Lesson 2: Introduction, which knives you need
Lesson 3: How to make the basic cuts and demonstrations of those cuts
Lesson 4: Further demonstrations on specific fruits and vegetables to help ou be efficient at each task
Lesson 5: Sharpening and Maintenance

The lessons vary in time, from 8-43 minutes, but you can skip around in the video or return to it later as needed.

See you in class.
