Santoku knives or to give them their full name Santoku bocho knives, which translates as 'three uses', are ideal for mincing, dicing and slicing, as they feature a straight edge with a narrow sheep's foot blade. These knives have evolved from the traditional Japanese vegetable knife which has a rectangular blade.

Nakiri means leaf cutter in Japanese, when used in reference to a knife. This knife is especially designed to mince, chop, dice, and slice vegetables. Its broad rectangular blade characterizes it with a flat and blunt tip which is often rounded and not pointed. Besides vegetables, a Nakiri knife is also excellent for cutting fruits.
