Not sure but on the other forum i can see there are quite a few knife lovers in ontario. I got a higo too recently from a friend who grab one for me in jp - fun little knife for opening those packages.

Another home run Kevin! I don’t know much about this knife so I went to their FB and website. One of the more intriguing smiths out there. I have a message into them to see if their books are open. Nice knife!!
You should really check out Joe's work. Definitely among my favorites. He is very active on his ig account as well.
