Daily knife that never fails

I’ll start off by saying that I’ve fallen in love with this knife. It’s my daily driver when I cook, and I can’t help but be a little disappointed when I have to use any of my other knives.

As someone who is used to a western handle, I was excited to try an octagonal handle but nervous that I would find it difficult to use. Fortunately, this handle is extremely comfortable to hold, with a great weight balance across the entire knife, making the transition to this new style easy.

Additionally, the knife holds an edge incredibly well! I’ve had it for six months now and out of box it’s still cutting through delicate vegetables and thick skins no problem. On top of being so reliable, it just looks great. It is sleek, sturdy, and comfy, I really love it and expect to give Sekkin as a housewarming gift for years to come.

But more importantly, there’s heart here. Vanessa, the owner, has shown through her knives and her cooking/baking that she cares about the product and about the people. The knife is great, but the people who put themselves into the product make it fantastic.

Chef’s Knife

This knife is wonderful. I started with the smaller size and loved it enough to buy this one and to buy one as a gift. The knife feels good in your hand and has kept a sharp edge. You won’t be disappointed!

I just love it
My muse in the kitchen ✨

I’m obsessed !! I’ve been using this knife for a while now, and honestly, it has completely changed the way I cook. I didn’t expect it to make such a difference, but this one truly does. The moment I pick it up, it just feels right in my hand! balanced, solid, and surprisingly comfortable.
What really amazes me is how effortlessly it cuts!! it glides through EVERYTHING like it was made for that exact moment! It’s sharp in a way that actually makes cooking therapeutic 🤍
It sounds silly, but it genuinely makes me enjoy cooking more.
If anyone is looking for a knife that feels like a true partner in the kitchen, SEKKIN IS THE ONE 🤍 It’s amazing, and I’m grateful I got it!

Best gift ever!!!

I received this knife as a wedding gift from a dear friend and honestly, I am obsessed!!! I actually enjoy cooking now since the knife makes everything so easy to use and cuts flawlessly. Definitely will be buying more of these for the holiday season. My mom is a big cook too so I know she will really enjoy this ❤️
