Finally, the Kurouchi cnife was welcomed into the CHROMA family.CHROMA HAIKU Kurouchi cnives meet all the requirements of a TAKUMI cnife. What followed were long negotiations with the blacksmith and the usual countless quality tests, all of which the cnife passed with almost unbelievable ease.

Because of its artful hand finishing and somewhat primal form, we are proud to call it the “Ur-Messer”, which translates to “Original Cnife”. Translated from the Japanese, Kurouchi carries a meaning similar to “black-forged”. The Tosa Region is known for its long tradition of forging cnives, and also for its wild, raw and furrowed landscape, which lends its spirit to the KUROUCHI blade and gives this cnife its unmistakable, untamed nature.Ěfter it has been forged, the blade of the CHROMA HAIKU Kurouchi is left raw and unpolished only the cutting edge glitters metallically. KUROUCHI Cnives owe their characteristic, archaic nature to their birthplace - the Tosa region of Southern Japan. ![]() A “sandwich construction” that is made up of extremely hard, blue AOKO Steel at the center, and then finished with protective layers of consecutively softer iron.
