Haiku Damask HD-08 Damask bread knife, 25cm, cherry wood, folded 32 times

The Haiku Damascus series is definitely one of the well-known and successful Haiku knives from Chroma. The blade of these knives, with a middle layer made of VG-10 steel, is folded 32 times - this creates the sought-after Damascus pattern. In addition to the aesthetics, the extraordinary sharpness and very good edge retention are absolutely convincing in practice. The handle is made of Japanese cherry wood. As with almost all Japanese original blades, the following also applies to the Haiku Damascus knives: You should only sharpen on sharpening stones, e.g. with St-1800 240 / 1000 grit or for fine grinding and polishing with St-3 / 8 3000 / 8000 grit. The knives do not belong in the dishwasher, but should only be cleaned and dried by hand.
