: Klingon word:   naH taj
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition:     fruit, vegetable knife
: 
: Additional Notes:
: KGT p. 63.  A knife that is relatively safe, both for user and intended 
: victim, is the smaller {naH taj} (literally "vegetable knife" or "fruit 
: knife," a kind of knife used for training but also for cutting parts off
: of growing plants).

As used in canon:

  jejHa'; naH taj rur 
  dull as a vegetable knife (KGT)

which is a common Klingon simile.
