Bonika Shears
Two sharpeners.
Two teaching styles.
One goal — helping sharpeners grow.
This year at Sharpeners Jam, Bonnie Megowan and Jim O’Donnell will be teaching together in a rare side-by-side sharpening format where attendees will get to compare:
• Rideline methods
• Flat hone workflows
• Troubleshooting approaches
• Convex edge sharpening concepts
• Real-world sharpening philosophies
This won’t be polished stage presentations.
It’ll be practical, hands-on, working sharpeners sharing what actually works in the shop.
Honestly… this may become one of the most unique learning experiences we’ve ever offered at the Jam.
