HAIKU knives stay sharp a long time, but depending on how often you use it, they will need to be sharpened. They are designed for quick and easy sharpening. Always use a whetstone, never a sharpening steel, it will damage the fine HAIKU edge. Store your HAIKU knife in a block, on a magnatic strip or in a knife case.

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." It is written in a three-lined stanza, contains precisely seventeen syllables, and often relays a razor-sharp critique of current issues.
