Most people give neither enough thought nor care to the primary tool of the kitchen: the knife. For those who do, bring your precious blades to Eugene Ong's shop on Queen West. Eugene loves his craft and it shows in the care he puts into giving your knife that tell-tale mirror edge of sharpness. I'm keenly aware of the many minute grazes I obtain from merely handling my newly sharpened blade.
While you could continue giving over your knives to Eugene's expert care, this blade whisperer will happily teach you how to fish. Learn how to sharpen your own knife at one of Knife's free sharpening classes. Or simply make a visit to peruse the quality Japanese knives on offer.
All hyperbole aside, Knife is one of the best places in Toronto to get your knife sharpened and to buy high-quality Japanese knives.
Tip: you're apt to walk right by this place. The way to Knife is a doorway to a second floor above Romni Wools. North side of Queen.
