CHROMA Haiku Original Set HSET1 - Santoku H05 + Utility Knife H03

Owning a Japanese knife means more than just choosing a high-performance tool. It also means embracing a tradition where every detail counts and every step is designed for longevity. The Haiku Original Set, featuring an 18 cm Santoku knife (Ref. H05) and a 13 cm utility knife (Ref. H03), perfectly embodies this spirit. Hand-forged in Seki, the historic capital of Japanese knife craftsmanship, these knives embody the rare balance between artisanal heritage and modern precision. Two knives, perfectly matched.
