Borrowing from an ancient method, a bamboo peg ('mekugi') is inserted from the side into every Haiku knife where the tang and handle are joined for added stability. To this day, traditional swordsmiths in Japan use this time-tested technique when crafting swords, just like those once used by the samurai of medieval Japan.
