Help Japan


We are all aware of the recent catastrophes in Japan. We, at Knifewear, have many, many friends in Japan and want to help the people we feel such affection for.  This is currently how we are actively raising money for the effort.

1. GET SHARP KNIVES AND HELP JAPAN.


















We are donating 50% of all the money we make for knife sharpening FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Now is a great time to get those knives back to their awesome potential. This means we will donate to the RedCross Japan Tsunami Relief effort $5 for every $10 we charge for knife sharpening. So, on average every knife we sharpen raises $5 for the RedCross. We are hoping to send a rather large cheque every month.


2.  EAT AND DRINK TO HELP JAPAN:  APRIL 1, 2011
This will be great night! Paul Rogalski and Olivier Reynaud at Rouge Restaurant (one of the top spots in the world  www.theworlds50best.com/awards/51-100-winners) have graciously decided to turn their 10 year birthday party for the restaurant into a fundraiser for the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Relief Fund. Hayato Okamitsu (ex of Catch and currently instructing at SAIT) joins forces with Mike Dekker (Rouge) and Paul (Rouge) to create a 6 course awesome meal with great wine pairings. I know that one of the courses will be a "Duck off" battle between Paul and Hayato san on one plate.

I have been asked to host the night and talk of my love for Japan. Finally, I'm putting my motor mouth skills to work.

3. DONATE TO HELP JAPAN
For the entire year we will have a donation box in the shop so people can donate directly to the cause. All money collected will be sent directly to the Red Cross.
