I have a friend in Canada whose birthday is just around the corner. They mentioned how their kitchen knives suck. I’d like to order them a whetstone, sharpener and/or a new set of knives. Are there any shops or brands that you recommend?

I’m not in Canada, so ideally I’d buy the item online and have it delivered to my friend.

    Don’t buy Henkels at Canadian Trash. There’s a very wide range of Henkel knives, and the best come from stores like the Bay and Williams Sonoma and are made in Germany. Chef grade Henkels are from Spain and the junk at Canadian Tire is from China. A top Henkel is about $200. A full knife block at Canadian Tire is $200.

      For what it’s worth my self-sharpening block from CT uses German steel assembled in India.
