Today HAIKU knives are manufactured in small Japanese knife factories out of high-grade modern 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.To this day, traditional sword smiths in Japan use this time-tested technique when crafting swords like those once used by the samurai of medieval Japan. HAIKU - the Japanese knife with the honoki-wood handle.Often Imitated - Only Authentic with the Falcon. What does HAIKU mean? The haiku is a highly artistic form of poetry, developed among the noble classes of Japan in the 16th century. Translated literally it means \"witticism.\" The meter and content of a haiku are \"sharpen to a fine edge.\"In Japan we use only the sharpest knives to insure the most precise and finest cut. HAIKU knives are extremely sharp; please take special care when using them. (Keep them away from children.)Never wash HAIKU knives in the dishwasher, the aggressive detergents and heat damage the steel and the honoki wood. Please wash the knife in warm water and dry it by hand after every use. Such care insures life-long reliability of HAIKU.Please do not cut bone or another hard materials with our HAIKU knives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chef Knives Direct ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079532056853,"sku":null,"price":525.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/7481\/2949\/files\/haiku_kinfe_im.png?v=1681146067","url":"https:\/\/chefknivesdirect.com\/products\/haiku-knife-set","provider":"Chef Knives Direct ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
