Perfect For the Chef With Almost EverythingI have so much kitchen junk I was reluctant to get another thing, no matter how useful it seemed. When it arrived today I used it to chop up Kale for a recipe I invented and chopping was never so easy. I have a Wustoff chef’s knife and it just isn’t as fast as I’d like. The halfmoon knife gets chopping in both directions in a way the chef’s knife can’t. Then I made little personal pizzas and the halfmoon knife made it possible to make cute little 8 slice personal pizzas so cleanly I couldn’t believe it. If you know someone who is really into cooking and they don’t have this tool, they will probably love it. Especially if time matters!

A MUST HAVE!!!!Greetings…I purchased this and started using it yesterday. This is an amazing product. It was super easy to use and I did not worry about cutting myself. The blade is nice and sharp. The handles are super comfortable and I chopped my onion in record time like a pro. I highly recommend buying this. It is nicely made…made in Italy right on it. I only buy USA and Italian products…this is amazing.

nice item but…..This looks like an amazing kitchen tool, BUT I was a little disappointed that the blades don’t come with any kind of sheathing. Can’t put it in a drawer cause you can slice and dice your hand. A cover should be included or offered separately.

Chops wellAre use this to chop up cilantro which can be pretty tricky to cut up. It works great I would buy it again!

Nice productNice mezzaluna but poorly sharpened from factory, hand sharpened and works great

not sharpThe first thing I tried was cilantro. No cutting on the first time through. Repeated rocking smashed and pulverized it but it’s not a clean cut. I can press my hand down on the blade and there’s no fear. I ran my finger along the edge and there seems to be a little lip in places which would account for the smashing vs. cutting.I was disappointed after hearing reviews on other mezzalunas saying you had to be v. careful w the blade. You don’t need a blade guard for mine.
