In October of 2025, we happily added a new neighbor to The Kitchen Loft family: our sister store, The Knife Stop, just around the corner on the second floor of the Kerrytown Market & Shops (and yes—nice and close to the elevator!). Created as a natural extension of The Kitchen Loft, this new space lets us say “yes!” to even more of what you’ve been asking for. Our Rewards program works in both shops for product purchases (services and classes excluded), and gift cards are welcome everywhere—because good tools should be easy to share.
Inside The Knife Stop, you’ll find a carefully chosen lineup of more than ten knife brands, along with a beautiful assortment of cutting boards, including Epicurean, larch wood, teak, and classic butcher blocks. We also offer sharpening supplies and professional sharpening services to keep your knives performing their best. Our friendly, experienced cutlers love talking knives and boards and are always happy to help you explore options, answer questions, and find the right fit for your kitchen—no pressure, just good guidance and a little knife enthusiasm.
