[ukjason]

Im coming to Seattle from Vancouver BC in on the 11th and looking to buy a japanese chef knife, could you tell where the pro knife store are please?

Uwajimaya in the International District is a huge Asian supermarket with a large selection of knives.

Years ago I bought a nakiri at Uwajimaya, but it is more of a Japanese home cook knife than a professional one - stainless steel and light, and one of my favorites.

U is a general grocery, with Japanese roots. It has a 'gift wares' section with knives and other Japanese products, but I don't think it specializes in knives. But with stores like 99Ranch and HMart up my way, I haven't been to U in some time.

Uwajimaya has Japanese chef's knives.

City Kitchens is another good place to check. They have some plus a great selection of knives in general.

I agree with City Kitchens on Fourth Avenue, knows. It's a great store. Sur La Table used to be really good but they are now owned by a Middle East investment firm, so I've stopped going there.

Try Seattle Cutlery or Sur la Table both in the Pike Place Market

thank you

What's wrong with Epicurean Edge? I can't imagine there is a place with a better selection of "pro" Japanese knives. It's nearly a fetish there.
