Haiku Original Haiku knives are THE kitchen essential for professional chefs and scratch cooks, boasting durability, lightness and the unique comfort of the wooden handle. Based on the Samurai tradition and the Japanese ritual of the sword-smith, Haiku knives are made in artisan workshops in Japan. Haiku are crafted from modern high-grade steel which produces blades of outstanding durability and extraordinary sharpness. The handle is based on a traditional Japanese design - a "mekugi" (a bamboo peg) secures the wooden handle to the blade providing exceptional stability. Haiku are an excellent blade for intensive everyday use, part of the natural wooden handle is left un-waxed allowing the wood to expand slightly, this maintains a consistently tight bond between the tang and the handle.
