The Nakiri Hocho is a knife used to prepare vegetables. However, like the Santoku Bocho this knife is also well suited for household usage. The shape of the knife is a slightly different rectangular shape compared to the Santoku Bocho. The Japanese Usuba Bocho type is a single edged blade, but the Nakiri Hocho is a double edged blade.
