Knifewear has spent the last 15 years offering Canada the widest selection of Japanese kitchen knives, sharpening supplies, and cookware. We love sharpening knives and teaching people how to safely use or sharpen them during our in-store classes. We are a shop about food, and we believe a good knife can get people excited about cooking. We also think that the retail shopping experience should be excellent. We build community through our store and events that gather people who enjoy food, cooking, and hand-crafted tools.
Knifewear offers a rewarding career, and many staff stay with us for years. Our strong training program will teach you our brand of service, which turns customers into fans who leave happier than when they arrived. You will learn a tonne about knives, steel, and cooking.

We go above and beyond not only the norms of customer service but also those of employment. Knifewear offers an above average salary, consistent scheduling, health benefits, performance bonuses, profit-sharing, and product discounts.
