Knifewear is a truly unique pop-up experience featuring high performance Japanese kitchen knives brought to us through thisopenspace and Kevin Kent.
Often travelling to Japan to meet his suppliers and learn about the art of handcrafted Japanese knives, Kent took the opportunity to become good friends with many of the Japanese craftsmen. So much so, that he was able to produce a documentary on the subject titled Springhammer.
