what the press says...
"... People actually fall in love with their knives ..."

"I developed a taste for
exquisite knives.
Look what happened."
"... With its striking red walls, graphic Japanese imagery and 15 metres of glass-topped cases displaying an impressive collection of knives from 25 Japanese artisan makers, Mr. Kent's hamono-ya is like a jewellery store for sharpened steel..."
"...refrain from settling
for any low-brow options..."
"Choose wisely, find your optimal combination of shapes, care for diligently, and these shimmering carbon products will be your new best friends."
"... There, at the crossroads of fit and function, is the kind of silky-smooth slicing power that makes chefs' toes curl with pleasure. Achieve that, and you will fantasize about making tomato sandwiches for everyone you know ..."
"... Kent offers a sharpening service and tons of knowledge about all the glistening knives in his glass cases ..."
"... Knifewear is Nirvana for the foodie, butcher and circus performer..."
Karen Ashbee, Western Living Magazine, June/July 2008

My knives are now
wickedly sharp!
"... Although I very much like my fingers, my knives are now wickedly sharp, and I nearly fear losing them. My fingers, I mean! However, it is a small price to pay for the ease of cutting tomatoes..."

Knifewear is on the
cutting edge
"... Calgary's No. 1 knife guy, ...what steals the show is the breathtaking, if a little unnerving, collection of chef-quality knives..."

Calgary
Bitten by knife envy.
"...a very cool knife store..."
