So that brings up the question (at least for me)

Who do you all think the most imported knife manufacture is?

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on March 24, 2012 at 2:11

Actually I haven't!

As Ron stated, I posted a list of some of the custom makers earlier but Skalja (Semi Custom) and Grohmann (Commercial/Production) are about it for makers nowadays.

There were a few small cutlers who made for the hardware chains here but they died out in the 1970s along with the hardware stores---except in small towns and those are getting few and far between.

We aren't like the US with Ka-Bar, Bear & Sons, W.R. Case, Entrek, Emerson etc., etc., etc. that are made CONUS.

We almost always imported either from the US, England or Europe...You got to remember that we're nearly twice your size in land mass and don't even have the population of Los Angeles and surrounding environs---we're just around 30 million.

Shlomo, I think you may have spoken to soon to say that Grohmann knives is the only  noted knife maker in the great country of Canada. That's okay I get excited about some of my favorite makers. There is alot of fine makers in Canada and after reflection, you'll agree. We all love our best knife makers.

I am submitting for your edification and perusal a small database of knifemakers producing custom knives here in Canada--I know I'm missing lots but at lest it's a start.

Also Canadian Knifemaker Supply for all your needs
