History

Established in 2013.

Born in the back alley selling Japanese kitchen knives to chefs in Calgary, Knifewear has become a destination for those who love Japanese steel/​are addicted to sharp.

With excellent, knowledgeable, and knife passionate staff you are in good hands. We have sample knives of every line we carry so customers can «test drive» the knives by slicing tomatoes and potatoes. This is the best way to confidently choose a knife.

We strive to make your knife purchases educational, fun, and memorable. We carry many knives not found in any shop outside Japan. Adding a few handmade Swedish axes for good measure.

On top of providing you with awesome knife sales we take care to hand sharpen kitchen knives of every variety.

Recently we have expanded into the sharp and satisfying world of wet shaving. We offer one of Canada’s largest selections of traditional shaving gear, and boy, do we love riffing about this stuff. Stay tuned as we work towards opening our dedicated shave shop, Kent of Inglewood.
