Is the Japanese Knife Company on Baker Street a front for a bar or member’s club?

1. No, it’s a shop selling the Japanese knives you can see on the wall there.

2. Well this is one of the most /r/london posts of all times

3. I want this to be true

4. Stick to uncovering the ones selling sweets. Uncovering a store that sells extremely sharp knifes of fantastic quality that will last a lifetime is not the way.

5. So I got to the tube and did some digging on Google.

   It isn’t quite a front, but the backroom leads to…

   A replica traditional Japanese home/kitchen that can be hired for private events.

   The easiest way in and out is through the knife shop, but it has its own private entrance behind Baker Street.

   Mystery solved. Sorry it wasn’t as exciting as hoped.

6. There was a Japanese ‘gentleman’s club’ in London that got raided by cops very recently, but not this one

7. The first rule of Knife Club…

8. I’ve been in there, they sell a lot of expensive, fancy looking knives. My friend got her knives sharpened. I think it’s legit!

9. An amazing speak easy hidden behind a bookshelf, right of the ornate 18th century granite knife sharpening stone….

   Once inside, you resolve business negotiations by playing Russian roulette! The likelihood is that there were more than 2 scousers that entered, but only 2 survived. I want this truth!
