Final edit!! IT WAS A CHANNEL KNIFE! Thank you to all who offered their guesses! I have a few new techniques to try now 😊 SOLVED!

I love this one Thai peanut cucumber salad from a restaurant nearby. It has cucumbers that are cut up in quartered chunks about 1/2 inch wide, and they aren’t really peeled, but they have what I can only describe as deep ridges cut into them parallel with the cucumber so they hold more of the delicious sauce (I assume).
I’ve found a recipe for the sauce that is super close, and figuring out this cutting/peeling? technique feels like the last puzzle piece I need to make this salad at home.
I’ve googled it, tried to find YouTube videos, even ordered the salad and tried using google image search and I cannot figure out how they do it. I feel like it’s probably some simple thing I cannot think of. Help me out here please so I can finally sleep at night.
