Very nice store. The owner is very knowledgeable about the products he sells.

The most passionate knife-expert I've ever met, by a longshot. Knowledgeable about every variety of knife. EVERY one. Will talk your ear off, but only about the topics you want to learn.The store itself is specialized primarily in western knives. There are some eastern knives, but they aren't the focus.

Very helpful in general, great at assessing what I needed, along with a history lesson. Money raised from sharpening services goes to charity, as well.
Since 2010, hacher&krain has been Toronto's only global culinary knife shop. Here, you can find handmade knives from all over the world, including K-Sabatier, Roselli, Gude, and Cosmo Knives.
At hacher&krain, we strive to provide exceptional tools and foster a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and ethos behind these essential kitchen companions.
We provide complimentary knife sharpening services for all straight-edged knives, regardless of whether they were purchased from us or not. We do not charge for this service; we collect donations for The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario.
