Forged black” is the meaning of Kurouchi in Japanese. This is how we characterize Haiku Kurouchi, with its 1.2% carbon oxidizable steel blade. Forged and sharpened in a workshop on the island of Tosa, it is the most handcrafted of the ranges produced for Chroma. Please note that this knife requires greater care than the others. The absence of chromium in the steel defines it - that's its raison d'être - but it's even more important to be careful, and always clean the knife in running water immediately after use, and even while it's still on the work surface.
Haiku Kurouchi is what you might call the purest traditional Japanese cutlery knife on the market. It is so both in its design and in the resulting rusticity, a characteristic prized by consumers. Each reference is made by a different master smith, and the Nakiri by the best of them (because it's the most difficult). The falcon symbol, Haiku's emblem, is also engraved on the blades. These are rare blades, produced in small quantities.
Haiku is a brand of the CHROMA company, which manufactures several ranges in different variations in Japan. There are currently 5 Haiku ranges: entry-level Japanese knives with Haiku Home and Haiku Yakitori for those wishing to learn about Japanese knives. The original Haiku collection, renowned for its artisanal manufacturing methods based on Japanese sword-making codes. This range has been the companion of many world championship winners. Haiku has its counterpart in Damascus kitchen knives with Haiku Damascus, designed according to the same codes, but in 32-layer damascus. The fifth range is Haiku Kurouchi, the Japanese knife that has become the icon of raw forging. The ultimate in craftsmanship, each blade is unique in its raw, unpolished appearance. Haiku Kurouchi is an anti-conformist product with a strong identity whose roots go back thousands of years.
