Buy Canadian First - Your destination for good shopping

Grohmann Knives Limited is a small family business with a big reputation.

In 1949 Rudolph Grohmann moved to Nova Scotia, Canada from Sudetenland, then a German region of Czechoslovakia, at the invitation of the provincial government-funded Pictou Cutlery, which closed after three years.

Mr. Grohmann, determined to make knives, built a garage workshop & began producing & engraving folding knives that he designed himself.

Shortly after, Deane H. Russell, the private secretary to Prime Minister MacKenzie King, was tired of only finding imported knives at every store he went into. He thought there should also be Canadian knives on the market. He met Mr. Grohmann and together they set out to design truly Canadian-made knives.

Grohmann Knives Limited was formed in 1961. Always keeping it in the family, today grandson Michael and his daughter Michelle are now running the company along with approximately 25 employees.

At Grohmann Knives, making knives is as much an art as a trade. The top quality knives are produced with as many as 53 steps between starting point & finished product.
