what the press says...

"... People actually fall in love with their knives ..."



Alberta Venture Magazine - December 2009

I have a problem, says Mr Kent

"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..."



CINDA CHAVICH - The Globe and Mail - April 15th, 2009

Does Your Knive Really Cut it?

"...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."



Does Your Knife Really Cut It? - R4nt.com

"... 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 ..."



Starting from Scratch Part II - Calgary Herald - January 16, 2009

"... Kent offers a sharpening service and tons of knowledge about all the glistening knives in his glass cases ..."



Food Bytes: Cutting Through The Smoke - Andree Lau, CBCnews.ca - July 17, 2008

"... Knifewear is Nirvana for the foodie, butcher and circus performer..."



Karen Ashbee, Western Living Magazine, June/July 2008

My knives are now wickedly sharp!

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..."



The Pink Peppercorn July 5, 2008

knifewear is on the cutting edge!

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..."



Kim Gray Calgary Herald April 13, 2008

Calgary is bitten by knife envy

Calgary
