Each knife is accompanied by a traditional washi manuscript featuring a haiku, celebrating the spirit of the blade. It is hand-wrapped in cloth inspired by the Japanese furoshiki tradition, blending elegance with purpose. Inside, you'll also find a written story that captures the unique spirit and character of your blade—crafted just for you.
