11th June 2026, New Delhi, India – Cumin Co., the premium Indian kitchenware brand known for redefining cookware through design-led innovation and uncompromising materials, today announced the launch of The Quill, its first-ever knife collection, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards building a complete kitchen ecosystem.
The launch marks Cumin Co.’s entry into precision preparation tools, expanding its presence beyond cookware and bakeware into one of the most fundamental stages of cooking: preparation.
For Cumin Co., great cooking does not begin on the stove. It begins on the chopping board. Whether it is the thickness of an onion slice, the precision of a julienne cut, or the consistency of a herb chiffonade, preparation shapes flavour, texture, cooking time, and presentation. The new range has been designed around this belief—bringing the same attention to detail to preparation that Cumin Co. has long brought to cooking.
“Consumers are becoming more intentional about the products they bring into their homes, and we see a growing opportunity to elevate every aspect of the cooking experience, not just cookware,” said Niharika Joshi, Founder of Cumin Co. “The quill represented the pursuit of precision and mastery, and we believe those same principles apply in the kitchen. “The quality of preparation impacts everything that follows in cooking, which is why entering the knife category was a natural evolution of our broader vision to create a complete high-performance kitchen ecosystem.”
Building the Complete Kitchen Ecosystem
Since its inception, Cumin Co. has focused on creating thoughtfully designed kitchen tools that enhance how people cook. Its patented enameled cast iron cookware and ceramic bakeware collections have helped redefine premium home cooking in India.
The launch of The Quill extends that vision beyond cooking into preparation, moving the company closer to its long-term goal of building a complete ecosystem of kitchen tools that support every stage of the culinary journey—from cut to serve.
The expansion also opens up a category estimated to be worth over ₹6,000 crore India-wide, reinforcing Cumin Co.’s strategy of becoming a premium kitchenware ecosystem brand rather than a single-category player.
Commenting on the new collection launch, Udit Lekhi, Founder, Cumin Co., said, “At Cumin Co., material and design have always been at the heart of how we build products. We believe that great kitchen tools should not only look beautiful but also perform effortlessly over years of use. That philosophy guided every decision behind The Quill collection, from the choice of high-carbon stainless steel and full-tang construction to the ergonomically designed G10 handles. The collection has been thoughtfully curated to deliver the right balance of precision, comfort, and durability, helping create a truly seamless preparation experience for consumers and bringing greater confidence and enjoyment to everyday cooking.”
Introducing The Quill
Named after one of history’s earliest instruments of precision and craftsmanship, The Quill collection is inspired by the belief that excellence is created through small, deliberate actions. The collection includes:
- 7-inch Chef’s knife – The everyday workhorse for chopping, slicing, and dicing
- 6-inch Santoku Knife – Designed for intensive vegetable preparation and high-volume cutting
- 5-inch Utility Knife – Ideal for peeling, trimming, and precision tasks
- Steak Knife – Engineered for clean slicing without compromising texture
- Sharpening Rod – Designed to maintain blade performance over time
- Knife Block – Safe and organised storage for everyday accessibility
Crafted from high-carbon stainless steel, every knife features full-tang construction for enhanced balance and durability, ergonomic G10 handles for superior grip and control, and a higher hardness rating than conventional kitchen knives for longer-lasting sharpness. To reinforce its commitment to quality and longevity, Cumin Co. offers a lifetime warranty across every blade in The Quill collection.
Expanding Material Expertise Beyond Cast Iron
The new collection also represents Cumin Co.’s first major expansion into stainless steel products. While the brand has become synonymous with premium enameled cast iron cookware, it has never centered its product philosophy on a single material. Instead, Cumin Co. believes every kitchen task deserves the material best suited to it—cast iron for heat retention and cooking performance, ceramic for baking, and high-carbon stainless steel for precision preparation.
With this launch, the company now spans 4 material categories and 5 product categories, further strengthening its position as a holistic premium kitchenware brand.
Built for Longevity, Not Replacement
At a time when many consumer products are designed around replacement cycles, The Quill collection has been created with a different philosophy: buy better, maintain longer, and own for life.
Cumin Co. believes that exceptional kitchen tools should improve with use rather than be discarded, and this belief is reflected in the inclusion of a sharpening rod. This philosophy aligns with the brand’s broader commitment to durability, responsible consumption, and sustainable ownership.
