Knifewear Ottawa

Fantastic store! You can find the best quality knives here. The service is incredible, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Their knowledge of their products is top notch. This shop is a must!

Great knife shop, a hidden gem on Bank Street. Fantastic customer service, it was clear that the sales representative is very passionate about knives, and provided detailed info about the craftsmanship, background, and even history about the makers. It was quite interesting to learn about the different makers. I love that they buy fresh fruits and vegetables for customers to try out the knives, had a great time there and spent about 2 hours on my first visit. Ended picking up two knives and a large cutting board. Would 100% recommend.

Great store. I am very excited to start cooking with these goregeous knives. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and kind. Jessie and Chris were very patient and thorough with me and my partner when we came to pick out new knives.

Picked up a Tojiro Classic bread knife and a set of Moribashi stainless steel chopsticks. So excited to play with my new toys soon! Highly recommend Knifewear for anyone looking for some good quality kitchen tools for cooks and Chefs or the home kitchen warriors.

What an amazing place. There are so many wonderful knives to glance at and choose from. The service here is excellent and they are more than willing to without any knife that you want to look at and test how it feels in your hands. So when the night speaks to you you know you have to buy it. They also offer many other unique kitchen items focusing on Japanese and Korean speciality items. Knife specialty boutique!!! #localguide

A fantastic trip and experience. Chris walked us through and helped us select one from a dozen knives to suit us. We were also there for the Masashi Yamamoto to engrave the knife we bought. Fantastic experience, fantastic staff overall great place to go.

Everyone in the shop is friendly, knowledgeable and are passionate! Took the sharpening class and bought some stones and the sink holder. I love that they have many class options because many other places don't have classes as often. I ended up being alone so it was a private with Mekki! Class is pricier than other places that offer classes, however, you get 10% + 50$ credit so if you're planning on buying sharpening gear or a new knife anyway, this can make the class almost free and I'm happy with their prices and quality of knife sharpening gear. You may find cheaper elsewhere but it'll also be cheaper quality. If you want to get your knives sharpened here, also the best place in terms of price and service. They take a look at the whole knife and see if it requires additional work like thinning included whereas other places will charge. I believe they'll oil thr handle as well if necessary. Also got myself a beautiful petty knife and it cuts wonderfully. I find supplementing the class with the many knifewear videos on YouTube will help you get all the tips and tricks and the class helps solidify the learning and ask additional questions!

Quality products along with great customer service! Passed by the closing hour, yet being incredibly well served by kind, knowledgeable and accommodating personnel! What a great place to get your dream knifes at!
