Knifewear is super excited to announce that Shibata san and Kato san of Masakage knives will be in the shop Saturday 25 September. Kato san is a renowned knife maker from Takefu village who has been making knives for the last 51 years. Not bad huh? Shibata san is Hiroshima's top knife sharpener and has a unique method of sharpening knives using a different grit on each side of the blade.

Shibata sna and Kato san will be answering questions, showing off new products, sharpening Maskage knives, and generally being cool.

All Maskage knives will be 10% for the weekend (Sept 25-Sept 26).

Calgary food in Vancouver Sun

Nice article about  Calgary food in the Vancouver Sun today. Some of my fave restaurants were mentioned as was a certain knife shop.  As any good report about Calgary's food scene should be, Inglewood was featured prominently.
