Normally I don’t do this but this week I’m taking a little “artistic license” with Ronovan’s weekly challenge; not only am I stretching the use of one of the challenge words I’m also breaking the syllable rule for haiku, which I never do! I hope with all that this still fits the proverbial-bill.
a stag handled knife
sharpened to a razors edge
speech dissects rhetoric
Even with the exceptions you kept that turn that is what make haiku so great.

So clever to take the prompt and turn it into something completely unexpected. Brilliant. TJ
