After 12 years in 3 shops in Burnaby (metro Vancouver BC) we moved our shop 200 kilometers north to the Campbell River area of eastern Vancouver Island. That was March 2025 and although we announced it on Instagram and posted an update on our company page, this is the first time we’ve talked about it in a post.
As a direct sales e-commerce manufacturer, it has made no significant difference to how we operate, other than receiving fewer visits at the shop for in-person sales.
The larger shop, that we now own, has space for more workstations, and room to grow. But it’s also allowed us to get out of a very hectic city and live on the ocean in the middle of one of Canada’s famous salmon fishing areas. It’s even possible to go hunting by bicycle in the nearby woodlot.
While the surroundings might sound bucolic and suggest a more laid-back attitude to production, it’s actually been the inspiration for some new knife designs that we expect to start releasing this year. As well, 2025 and now into 2026 has also seen significant improvements to some product accessories.
