Sean Warmington-Wan is a man who wears many hats: chef, food anthropologist, entrepreneur. But these days, he is best known as the founder of Fragrant Knives, a small but fast-growing brand built around one simple idea: to spread his love of Chinese knives.
Born in Hong Kong but raised in the UK, Warmington-Wan grew up straddling two cultures. During university, he lost his mother, who had been the cook in the family, and felt cut off from his heritage, which reignited his interest in food.
