October is one of our favourite months at the shop. Cooler weather means more time in the kitchen, heavier meals, hunting season, and the beginning of that time of year when a good knife gets used a lot more than usual.
This month, we’re focusing less on simply filling the shelves and more on bringing in pieces that are a little different — new Japanese series, handmade outdoor knives, unique handles, sharpening gear, kitchen accessories, and a few limited pieces that won’t stay around for long.
So whether you’re upgrading something you use every day, looking for a hunting knife, getting your sharpening setup ready for winter, or just stopping by to see what’s new, October is a pretty good time to visit Kakushin.
And with the holiday season getting closer, this is still the calm before the storm.
