I love it when they get the little things right

Knifewear Store in Kelowna

Showcase in Knifewear Store in Kelowna

It is not a big thing, but it is nevertheless important. Last week I came across a little shop in Kelowna. The shop, Knifewear, specializes in Japanese kitchen knives.

As you can see in the bottom photograph, the showcase is filled with something orange and yellow. (The same colours at the firm's trademark colours seen in the large piece of art behind the counter.)

The orange and yellow things are peas. A perfect thing for a knife store. Not so hard that they'll scratch the knives, and food which is a great fit with the merchandise.

Not to gush, but the knives are amazing. Japanese knives are remarkable and a HUGE step up over your old Henckel blades. The store offers mail order service and even free shipping to the US and Canada on overs over $200. Well worth checking out. (http://knifewear.com/)
