According to legend, a long, long time ago, there was a blacksmith on a small island. He was a mellow, kind-hearted man. He and his wife depended on each other for fate. The couple lived on the island for generations.
One day, a general who had fought along with Saladin passed by here and came to the city to wander around with the crowd. He happened to pass by the blacksmith’s shop and walked in to take a look. Seeing this blacksmith’s superb craftsmanship, his wife was pulling the bellows by the furnace, crackling, sparks flying into the sky with the heat, the blacksmith’s clanging struggling to forge sparks, and from time to time some special soil and salt were added. The general looked very curious.
So he ordered the blacksmith to forge a large knife for himself. After the final forging was completed, the knife broke and cut the iron like mud. When the general saw it, he couldn’t help but nod. After the blacksmith tried the knife, he presented the knife to the general and said: SIKKINA.
The local pronunciation of the knife is SIKKINA. Due to the language barrier, the general thought the blacksmith’s name was SIKKINA. So the general patted the blacksmith on the shoulder and announced to everyone that SIKKINA was the best blacksmith he had ever seen, and everyone shouted “SIKKINA.”
Later, the general brought the blacksmith to his subordinates, who was responsible for forging weapons for his army. With the assist of the magic knife and the blade, the general charged and fell into the battle. He was really unstoppable. Later, the blacksmith continued to improve the production process. The more the knives were made, the better, and the reputation of SIKKINA spread farther and farther, and people gradually forgot the real name of the blacksmith.
Today, hundreds of years later, the former military craftsmanship has gradually flowed into the folks. After many improvements, we have our kitchen knife brand SIKKINA.
