About Event

​Join EO Calgary for an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to Knifewear, hosted by EO Calgary Member David Tadman.

​In 2007, chef Kevin Kent began selling Japanese knives to Calgary restaurants out of a backpack on his bicycle. Today, Knifewear has grown into a national retailer with six stores across Canada.

​Hear from Mike Wrinch, General Manager of Knifewear, about the company's entrepreneurial journey, its growth and how it has maintained its unique culture along the way.

​Enjoy a tour of the Inglewood shop and sharpening workshop, a live knife-sharpening demonstration, and breakfast with an opportunity for conversation and Q&A.

  • ​7:30 a.m. – Welcome, shop tour and sharpening demonstration

  • ​8:00 a.m. – Breakfast, the Knifewear story and Q&A

  • ​9:00 a.m. – Event concludes
