A blade shop that reaches past the kitchen: alongside knives it carries folding knives, sommelier knives and sheath knives. The shop’s own site promises a good many curious things you will not find anywhere else. If you are after a blade meant to be used away from the kitchen, this is the shop.
It is open 9:30–18:00 and closes only over the Year-end and New Year holidays.
