Knifewear Edmonton is Open


So, we opened our little Edmonton pop-up shop on Nov 20 and we will be there till December 31. How cool is that? We’ve had a warm welcome from that cool (even cold sometimes) City. If all goes well we might open a full time shop there. If you have any suggestions where it should be located please send and email or tweet.

So the shop is staffed  by  three rad folks. Jordan worked for a year or so at the Calgary store. He’s a great resource for the difficult questions and places rad guitar. Chad is a cooking/butcher/hunter/gatherer/backyard oven making guru. You are in great hands. Jeanette is a chef with dreams of starting a food truck in YEG. Awesome team!

The shop has tons of knives, basically our ‘Best of’ album. With knives in every budget and in every level of performance. Also have sharpening gear, cutting boards, meaty cookbooks, great food and coffee mags, and bits and bobs that everyone needs. Basically our whole shop. Make sure to check out the ‘Shaving Stairs’ we have staright razors, safetys, blades, brushes and potions/lotions for the modern wet shaving man.

Open 10-6 every day (even Sunday)

Sharp knives, beer and meat. What more do you need???

Here's a nice little blog about the shop

Here's a great preview

Knifewear Calgary Farmer’s Market is Open


We opened our new Calgary shop at the Calgary Farmer’s Market. It’s the big one that over looks the Ikea. Ya, that one.  It’s right beside Silk Road Spice Merchants and not far from Chokolat. Just like a mini Inglewood.

Naoto is running the show there. He is a great sharpener and his knowledge of Japanese knives always surprises me. He does endless research and is beyond happy to share what he knows.

We offer our best selling knives, sharpening gear, knife storage, cutting boards, cookbooks and a bit of shaving gear. Next time you’re at the market pop in to say ‘Hi’, try a cool knife and maybe take advantage of our ‘Sharpen While You Shop’ service.

Men's Grooming


If you’ve been to the shop recently you’ll know we’ve dived in to the deep end with shaving gear.

We have straight razors from Dovo and Iwasaki san. Also we have our own brand of  hand hammered single sided brand of straight razors coming. How cool is that?

Safety razors: Merkur, Feather and Edwin Jagger.

Double edged razors blades: Feather, Mekur, Lord and Derby

Brushes: Kent, Edwin Jagger, eShave, Vielong, Simpson, Vulifix

Potions and lotions:  D.R. Harris, eShave, Taylors of Old Bond Street, Edwin Jagger, Geo F. Trumper, Kent, Dovo, Castle and Forbes, RazoRock, La Toja, James Bronnley, Czech and Speake, The Dreadnought and Blue Beard’s.

Here is proof of the awesome power of proper man grooming gear. This Jeffery with his mighty beard.



Here is Jeffery after just one treatment from Blue Beard’s beard conditioner.  Need we say more?


*Just so yas knows; this is a faked picture. We used a fancy thing called PhotoShop to steal Farah Fawcett’s hair and stick on to Jeff’s face. The beard conditioner is great, but it didn’t do that.  Pretty cool if it could do that though. My legal council told me to include this factoid after he was fully tricked by the picture. Kinda funny huh?
