Via Google street view, I think I found your new store. Can I guess or do you want to still keep it a mistery?

Sweet. I'll have to start thinking of good excuses... +1 to the WCG. Good luck, Jon!
 
Wait, what do you mean we can't just stop by?!? Maybe you shouldn't have put your store about 5 blocks from a serious knife nut!!!! I'm excited to hear when this opens and have a day off when your ready... Good luck

Shooting for a July 1st opening...
 
Sounds great! If you need any help let me know and I will do my best do to whatever I can. (I live near by and should have some days off coming up) Also, go to bed so you can set the store up! haha

Just mounted our MAG-BLOKs in our display cases... here's a picture of one (still needs the glass shelves put in though)... making progress

Dang, that looks awesome! I wish I had the room for something like that in my kitchen.
 
Climatized walk-in knife storage, that's a clear sign that may have too many knives and should talk to one of my colleagues ;)

Stefan, I can clearly see your avitar, maybe we can get a discount if both of us by one? Don't you have rust issues with your carbon blades there in Hawaii?

Maybe you can supply room and board and walk all your knutty-guests to the shop for Jon to work over...
 
Wow Jon. Looks great. Congrats on the B&M.

What part of LA is it in? Can't wait to check it out.

Very cool looking cabinet. I might have to steal that idea for my palce in a down sized version ...Now all I need are some knives worth displaying
 
Nice! Is the store going to have a similar theme/design to the website?
 
i'll try to get more pictures up as we start to get things together... hopefully that will give you a sense for what things will be like in the store
 
A few more pictures of todays progress:

An empty display case (but not for long) and a table with some pottery on it (all made by Sara's parents who are artists in Japan):

Our table, which we are filling with knife making scraps from Japanese makers (it has some scraps from Doi-san in it right now as well as some from the awesome guy who makes the paper knives we carry):

The store is looking great, keep the updates coming!
 
Looking awesome Jon!

Glad to see that you're loading up on caffeine and Japanese food (from Mitsuwa no less) to keep you going! :jumping3:
 
gotta do what you gotta do... and people wonder why i am still responding to e-mails at 3-4am ;)
 
Good to know you're there that late...never know when I might get the urge to drive up to hang out!

Looking good Jon and Sara . well on the way:thumbsup:
 
+1. I can't wait to check out your new digs. Beginning of July, you say? Looks like it's gonna be close!
 
Congratulations, Jon & Sara!! I wish you continued success and hope that the store will become the nexus of many knifenuts, for Venice, Greater LA, California and beyond.
