In July, Knifewear invited three Japanese blacksmiths to Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa to demonstrate how high-quality, renowned knives are crafted, the website Eat North reported on May 24.
Knifewear is a specialty store originally from Calgary. Now with five branches, it has the most extensive collection of Japanese knives outside of Japan. Through the live demonstrations, Knifewear hoped to connect its customers to the knives’ blacksmiths, so they can cultivate a better understanding of the creation process and develop a personal appreciation for their products.
