Mulberry knife: rectangular, thin and long, generally black on the top and white on the bottom. It is the lightest and most commonly used knife. It can be used for cutting meat and vegetables, but not for cutting bones, because the slit angle is extremely small, and it is easy to get stuck and hurt the knife.
