DICED Knives Slices Into Canadian Culinary Scene

Canadian made by Canadians – this is what DICED Knives is all about. DICED Knives, a Canadian culinary knife manufacturing warehouse, is redefining the essence of kitchen craftsmanship with its innovative approach to knife-making. Founded by Don Guthro, Casey Vilensky and Riley Janzen, DICED Knives is a manufacturing warehouse that focuses on creating the highest quality knives using sustainably sourced materials with an emphasis on supporting local.

Situated in Coquitlam, British Columbia, the manufacturing warehouse transitioned from a conceptual idea to a significant enterprise under the leadership of its founders. With a dedicated team of about 10 staff members, including Vilensky, the bladesmith and blade artist, and Janzen, the designer and wood specialist, DICED has successfully crafted more than 1,000 knives, making a notable mark in the culinary world.

“We are thrilled to be where we are today, offering the highest quality of knives to all foodies, home cooks and professional chefs alike,” says Guthro.

DICED Knives specializes in three distinct lines of knives: introductory, professional, and Damascus, catering to a broad spectrum of culinary enthusiasts. The company takes pride in its commitment to quality, utilizing medical-grade German stainless steels like AEB-L and Nitro-V, renowned for their superior properties. Each knife undergoes a meticulous handcrafting process, including in-house heat treatment and hand-grounding, ensuring unparalleled precision and durability.

The handles are as exceptional as the blades, featuring anti-bacterial properties and crafted from sustainable local woods. This attention to detail and quality makes DICED Knives a favored choice among culinary professionals and enthusiasts alike.

The contribution extends beyond knife manufacturing. The company actively engages in various community-centric initiatives, including the operation of DICED Discovery Cafe, a full-service catering company, a food truck, and meal programs for marginalized groups. Furthermore, the Diced Culinary School, established in 2008, has evolved into an innovative online education co-op program, offering flexible learning options for aspiring culinary professionals.

DICED Knives’ mission transcends the art of knife-making; it is about fostering culinary education and supporting local communities in Canada. Each purchase from DICED Knives is not merely an acquisition of a high-quality culinary tool but an investment in the growth and development of Canadian culinary arts and education.
