Get the knowledge you need to expertly prepare chicken at home.
One of our favourite knife styles is the honesuki or Japanese poultry knife. If you enjoy making kebabs or just want to learn how to break down a chicken to make chicken and waffles, a honesuki, combined with the knowledge of how to use it, is a great addition to your arsenal.
For $150, you will receive two chickens from a local, sustainable butcher to learn on and a $75 credit to you in-store towards your very own honesuki or boning knife. One of our staff will teach you how to break down the birds in preparation for two recipes: buttermilk fried chicken and boneless for skewering, which you will then finish preparing at home.
This is a very small class with a lot of one-on-one learning so space is extremely limited. Halal chicken options are available by request.
Unfortunately, we cannot allow minors in our classes.
Do you already have a Honesuki? You can use the credit from the included knife towards anything else in the store.

Reviews
Lots of fun Learning
"Hey there! I just finished a really great class. Even though I thought I knew a lot beforehand, I still learned so much. It was definitely worth it!"
Excellent Class
"Excellent class. The pace was great and the small class size allowed good visibility and interaction. Breaking down a chicken two different ways and getting to try different knives was great, too."
Excellent class, time well spent
"I watched the videos produced by knifewear online and it covered the basics, this class provides a much more detailed experience. A selection of Honesuki knives were provided for each of the participants to try, and a detailed explanation of the different knives was given. The Chicken cutting itself was great because the instructions were clear and well thought out. the basic cuts were explained but then more details were given about the smaller cuts and what they are typically used for. I had never heard of a popes nose... The instructor was very patient and helpful demonstrating the cuts and helping each of the students as they had questions. If you are even remotely interested in this or know of a friend or loved one who are interested this is a great learning treat for yourself or gift for someone special."
Had a great time at
"Had a great time at this class. Learned a few new techniques that I was hoping to pick up. Matt was great at teaching the class and kept it fun."
Great Class - Would Recommend!
"Fantastic class! I would definitely recommend to individuals or couples to take. Don’t have to be a trained chef to take this class. The instructors do a great job walking you through step by step and ensure everyone is looked after. Fantastic skill to learn, I’m so happy I took the class. They also provide a range of knives to test so you can get a feel for a couple different ones throughout the process to help if you’re interested in buying a Honesuki. Plus you get to take home some butchered chicken along with some recipes!"
Cut chicken like a pro!
"I loved this class! We were taught two different ways to cut a chicken, French and Japanese. The honesuki is a unknown knife to me, it was good to get a feel for it and appreciate how effective it is. You go home with two whole chickens, 75$ toward a sweet knife and a great recipe! Can not go wrong."
Honesuki Skills Class- Ottawa
"It was a great class. Both instructors were very good at demonstrating and explaining what we were doing. I wouldn't change anything."
All that was missing was Lordy setting off the fire alarm
"Staff was great explaining the techniques, came home the two chicken butchered, in both senses of the word. Lots of laughs, stories and of course techniques to practice. It goes perfectly with the purchase of your new knife! Big plus to finish out a weekend."
I bought this as a
"I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. He loved the class."
Q&A
- Will you be offering this class again soon in Calgary?
- Hi Avery, we will be offering the Honesuki Classes again in the New Year. Due to the busy nature of December and the Holidays, we don't run our classes during this time, but we will post the available dates for classes in the next few weeks, so keep an eye on our website! Matt
- Just wondering if this class will be offered at the Vancouver store
- Hey there, we should have them added soon, check back in a couple of weeks and we'll have them up! - Ellie
- The class isn't for several months, can I get the knife sooner (i.e. order the class, pick up the knife, attend class later...)
- Hey there, you totally can! Just let us know when you place the order and we can either ship it to you, or you can come to pick it up. If you like, you can come down to the store and purchase the class there, and see if you want to upgrade you knife! - Ellie
- Me and my girlfriend are planning to go to a class soon. Since we're gonna be living in the same household, it'll be a bit redundant to get the same knife. Would it be possible to maybe have the cost of the second knife be reduced from the whole price or be put into credit into another knife?
- Hey there, you can totally use the credit from the other knife towards anything else in the shop or we can put it on a gift card for later purchase, we totally understand not needing a second gift card! - Ellie
- is this class being offered in Edmonton in the upcoming months?
- Hey there, it will be, we just haven't added any new dates, we'll send a mail out when we do, make sure your signed up for the mailing list! - Ellie
