| - Knifewear is, hands down, the ONLY place in Calgary you should be buying a knife.
They have a beautiful selection of knives that range in price. Some of the knives are hand forged with gorgeous wood grain-like folded steel blades. Others are top quality machine made knives with laser engraved cherry blossom detailing. Regardless, Knifewear only carries products that are impressive.
Several years ago I bought a knife at knifewear made by Japanese swordsmith Teruyasu Fujiwara the 4th. It's made of white carbon steel and stays razor sharp for ages. Though the knife was expensive I have no regrets. When you slice something with a kick ass knife it's incredibly satisfying and enjoyable. When my knife does, eventually, require a sharpening, I take it to knifewear for some maintenance. They hand sharpen an a series of water stones, which is really cool to sit back and watch.
Today, thats exactly what I did! Not only was I impressed with the beautiful store and the range of knives and other products for sale, but also with the customer service. It sounds silly, but every time I go into Knifewear and chat with an employee, I leave feeling light and happy, with a silly grin on my face. They are welcoming, inclusive, and engaging. Even if you aren't a chef (I'm not!!) and a total knife noob, Knifewear is going to make you feel like a chopping, slicing, food preping bad ass!
Go there. Buy a knife. You'll be glad you did.
