| - Knifewear is one of my favorite stores in Calgary, although I don't go there often. The reason for that is, I would not be able to afford life because I would buy everything.
I recently bought a gyoto which is one of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen. The quality is far higher than any other knife I own. One time a group of ninjas broke into my house while I was mincing garlic with my new gyoto, and when they saw my new knife, the cried and ran away. Any knife that can make a group of ninjas cry and run away is a special knife.
I went in there wanting a beautiful, high quality, hand made knife. I am a huge knife fan and I've done a lot of research on all sorts of knives and this shop gave me the opportunity to hold and actually cut veggies with the knives. If you go in with a budget, the people in the store will totally help you out.
I went in with a budget of $200, and rather than going straight to the $200 knives, they gave me a spread of knives ranging from $110 to $220. They explained the difference between each one, let me hold and use them and gave their advice on which one they would choose. In the end, I came in under budget and got a gorgeous 210mm Tadafuss Nashiji.
I have zero complaints about the knife and I still love going into the store occasionally to check things out.
The people there are super cool and don't pressure you at all. They're totally cool with you just coming in and looking around and they'll still spend time talking knives with you because they all love the knives too.
10/10 or 5/5 or whatever. Would recommend.
