H3: The Japanese Vegetable Knife Defined

The Nakiri bocho (meaning “vegetable cutter”) is a traditional Japanese knife known for its rectangular shape and flat edge. Unlike chef’s knives, which require a rocking motion, the Nakiri’s straight blade lets you slice straight down for cleaner, faster prep—especially useful when working with delicate or soft-skinned produce.
