Knifewear offers exquisite Japanese chef knives, expert knowledge, informed knife purchasing decisions, on-site knife sharpening/repairs, Spanish cleavers, cooking inspired t-shirts, knife maintenance equipment.
To make a proper knife purchase decision we believe that the knife should be handled to assess the balance and to check the fit and finish. For this reason there is always a few tomatoes around to test drive the knives. Most knives can be tested on a tomato before you make a decision.
All knives purchased through Knifewear are sharpened before they leave as not all Japanese kitchen knives are shipped sharpened to their full potential. The first time the blades need re-sharpening we will do the job for free. You can even grab a seat, if you fancy, and watch your knife being sharpened. After that we can talk about a maintenance program. We believe in informed knife purchasing and post sale support.
The knife buying experience should be a learning experience and enjoyable. At Knifewear there will be no rushing or pressure. Take your time, ask questions, try a few knives and make the right decision.
Come by for some knife talk, a cup of tea, to enjoy the red walls, have your knives sharpened, watch your knives being sharpened, London gossip, trade cured meat techniques, debate the influence of Tom Waits, make an informed knife decision, see pics of my son ...
