Shuna Lydon does a great knife class in addition to her baking classes. Don't know what her current class schedule is, but I'm sure if you send her an email she'll fill you in.

Sur La Table does knife skills classes as well.

California Culinary Academy does great classes and they have a knife skills class in their weekend gourmet catalog

Oh wow! Shuna does a knife skills class? I've never met her in person, but in emails and on her blog she seems so nice. If I lived in SF, I'd sign up right away.

Adam, maybe we can get a group together and convince Shuna to do an East Coast class...?

Shuna's knife skills class was one of the defining moments for me going from being someone who eats to becoming a serious eater. I wrote a bit about it some months later.

I just took an excellent (and fun!) class at Sur La Table on Maiden Lane. I also had been looking for such a class...finally found it at Sur La Table for $65. Instructor Mike is 30ish, fun, high-energy, and very good at conveying concepts. Class started with a lecture at 6PM, went to hands-on at 7:15 or so, and lasted until 9:30. Discount for purchases made that week, and the store stayed open until 11PM for us. They appear to provide the class every 2 months. I took it in November, and the next one is on January 3rd. This provided exactly the how-to that I wanted, bonus inclusion of how to hone knives, and free knife sharpening if you bring in your own.
