Layered Damascus steel means no two blades look the same. This one is yours alone.
Sharp from day one
Sharpened before it leaves us, so it cuts cleanly from your first onion.

The weight sits where blade meets handle, so long prep feels lighter.

Tomatoes, cucumbers and boneless meat in clean, even slices.

Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Wash it by hand with warm water and a little soap, then dry it right away. The dishwasher dulls the edge and can damage the handle.
How often should I sharpen it?
Hone it every week with a few strokes on a honing rod. Sharpen it every few months, when honing stops helping, on a whetstone or with our resharpening service.
Can I use it on bones or frozen food?
No. Bones and frozen food can chip a fine edge. For bones and heavy meat work, use the Butcher Knife.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Every order arrives in the Sekeen box with tissue and a care card, so no wrapping is needed. Add a gift note at checkout.
What if I want to return it?
If it arrives damaged or faulty, we replace or refund it free. An unused item in its sealed box can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Engraved knives cannot be returned unless faulty. Email info@sekeen.com to start.
