Sticker Sunday: A New Knifewear Sticker Every Week!

Sticker Sunday: A New Knifewear Sticker Every Week!

I have been obsessed with stickers since I was a kid. Star Wars, scratch & sniff, or Calvin and Hobbes, I wanted them. My bike and chest of drawers were the main recipients of my good stickers. The best stickers were saved in a purple Crown Royal bag stuffed in a shoe box. These stickers were far too loved to put just anywhere; they were to be saved for the perfect placement, but more often than not, they remained in the purple bag turned vault. My bikes still get a lot of stickers, as do my luggage and laptop. 
 
Sticker Sunday is our way to share the love of stickers. Every Sunday in 2025, starting today, we'll launch a new sticker in-store and online! There will be silly stickers, designs from local artists, employee designs, fantasy Knifewear logos, Sasquatches, sticker sheets, and psychedelic phrases. These are one-time prints. Everyone needs something to decorate their laptop or guitar case, or hoard in the secret sticker stash where you keep the best of the best.
 
Inflation be damned, we're keeping sticker prices to $2 each, the same as they've been for 15 years.

Every week we'll have a video about that week's new sticker on Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube, so keep your eyes peeled! Collect them all, and you win a mystery prize.

Knifewear owner and president Kevin Kent’s fascination with handcrafted Japanese knives began while he was working as sous-chef for the legendary chef Fergus Henderson at St. John restaurant in London, England. Back in Canada in 2007 he began selling them out of a backpack from the back of his bicycle, while working as a chef in Calgary. He considers his chef years as the best education for being an entrepreneur. Being a chef takes long hours, involves hard work, both mentally and physically, and chefs must be able to put out fires, both literal and figurative, with extreme competence. Today, Kent is still just as obsessed with Japanese knives as the day he first held one. A couple times a year, he travels to Japan to meet with his blacksmith friends and drinks far too much sake. Each visit he learns more about the ancient art of knife-making. Through this obsession Knifewear has expanded to include five Knifewear stores in Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Edmonton. Plans are also underway to open a store in Kyoto, Japan. He refuses to confess how many Japanese knives he owns … but he admits the number is rather high. Follow Kevin on Twitter at @knifenerd and find out more about the stores at knifewear.com, and if you meet him in person, ask him to tell you his Lou Reed story.
