We are very proud of our Montreal distributor's new specialty retail shop for HOCHO kitchen knives, which was just featured in the local newspaper, the Montreal Gazette.
Our distributor, Mr. Guillaume De L'isle, has operated a growing sharpening and distribution business, L'Émouleur, for the past few years and has just launched his first specialty shop in the trendy shopping district on Laurier Avenue.
L'Émouleur is an old French word meaning "the sharpener", and, as might be expected, Guillaume offers unparalleled after-sales service including hand sharpening.
He is always ready to share his enthusiasm for HOCHO knives and his knife sharpening expertise with clients, so if you are in the Montreal area please stop in to chat or simply to admire the beautiful HOCHO knives on display.

This year was the second time to take part in this show. This show was very lively and the north American market has been still busy. We felt the number of vistors were more than the last year. Actually, the show association announced that. Our booth is decorated as the Japanese traditional motif. We also hang up the Japanese carp kite on the wall.(in the middle of picture below). Some customers came by our booth. And we could communicated with them openly. we hope our products made them understood our policy and approach at leastThat was a good oppotunity. The cusomers are attracted by our new lines. We really expect that new lines are one of the necessay items for them in their business.
We are pleased to announce that we have a new distributor in Portland, Oregon, Mr. Woody Bailey. Mr. Bailey is a sharpening specialist who trained under the well-respected hand maker Bob Kramer, and who now runs his own sharpening and distribution company, Zen Blades. Mr. Bailey is also a TA at the Portland Culinary School, and you may have seen his mobile sharpening car - equipped with several grinding machines - patrolling the streets of Portland. MCUSTA is very excited to be represented by Mr. Bailey (and Zen Blades) in the Oregon region.
