Knifewear is Looking for Knifewear Toronto – Coming Soon! Full Time

After countless requests from Toronto customers, Knifewear is finally opening a location in the GTA this May! The final location will be announced soon and this will be Knifewear’s fifth and biggest store yet.

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. You will also become an amazing knife sharpener. Most of all, you will be part of an awesome team where people actually enjoy their jobs!

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.
