In Japan, the art of the sword smith has a long tradition. Today, Haiku knives are manufactured in small Japanese knife factories out of high-carbon stainless steel. Borrowing from an ancient method, a bamboo peg ("mekugi") is inserted from the side into every HAIKU knife where the tang and handle are joined for added stability.
This great knife is from the Chroma Haiku Yakitori Collection which brings Chroma Haiku quality to you at a lower price. Every Haiku knife is extremely sharp, ergonomic and durable--a superior knife to add to your collection.
