Historically there are three grades of Japanese sharpening stones: the ara-to (rough stone) naka-to (middle stone) and the shiage-to (finishing stone). The Haiku collection is Chroma's traditional line of knives inspired by the Japanese art of the sword smith and haiku poetry the meter and content of which are supposed to be sharpened to a fine edge. A bamboo peg or mekugi is inserted into every Haiku knife where the tang and handle meet providing added strength and stability.
