We dreamed of the perfect knife roll for years, so we finally designed it with ⁠

The Koen X Knifewear Expediter 7 Piece Waxed Canvas Knife Roll is the perfect fusion of minimalism, utility, and design. This rugged roll holds all the essentials and fits under your arm or in a backpack. Made with the best materials and craftsmanship Mexico has to offer, it's a lifetime roll.⁠

$255 CAD, link in the bio.⁠

Knives: Tojiro Reppu Kiritsuke Petty ($245), Santoku ($300), & Kiritsuke ($355).⁠

What's a piece of cookware you can't live without? A sturdy carbon steel pan, like this Canadian-made Flamerider from is a must for me.⁠

The first thing you want to cook on this baby is scallops, because it is SO nonstick. The incredibly smooth surface paired with the raw, forged handle is absolute perfection.⁠

$300 CAD, link in the bio.⁠
