Mezzaluna Knife & Pizza Cutter Rocker - 12 Inch (30.5 cm) Stainless Steel Double Handle Crescent Chopper Blade - Vegetable, Salad & Herb Mincer, Slicer, & Dicer - Premium Quality Kitchen Tool

After a lot of research including handling many mostly smaller or double bladed mezzalunas in stores, I finally settled on this one at 12" over the slightly larger "Mezzaluna Knife" 13-14" which I thought might be a little too long to be practical. First uses have all exceeded expectations with herb chopping etc. There is not much flexibility in the blade if you were wondering - I was, but none of the reviews had mentioned this quality. If you buy it, you will receive a product that feels solid and appears to be of excellent, no frills quality. It will work with a magnetic block, which is probably the safest way to store it.

I make cheese in 6 lb wheels and have had difficulty cutting them with standard kitchen knives. This cutter works perfectly, reaching across the wheel without any troubles and cuts cleanly. I've also used it for cutting pizza and watermelon and it works well for cutting cheese, meats, and veggies into smaller strips or cubes.Just watch out for that sharp blade! I'm glad that it came with a sturdy blade cover that will last for years, too. I hang it upside down across 2 nails on my kitchen wall, as I don't have other storage solutions that work well for me.

Finally, a recommendation by a You Tuber that is actually a great purchase. Saw this in action during a chopped, cobb salad was being made on You Tube. I ordered it right away with images of me preparing my own delicious chopped salad and my new petite physique. Well, my new physique never arrived, but this did and performed better that expected. It's the perfect tool to create chopped, gourmet salads in the comfort of your own lovely kitchen. Also doubles and a pizza cutter. It is sharp, so please don't show off to your family and guests without knowing how to properly use it.

have not yet used it but I must say it is beautiful . My only complaint is that it is difficult to store when not in use because it cannot be hung and it has no protective cover for the blade and therefore creates a dangerous situation

Slightly smaller than I Thought, but extremely sturdy and comfortable to work with. he edge was very sharp when received and after several uses stays sharp. Handles are smooth and provide a good grip, making the mezzaluna easy to control. A very welcome addition to my kitchen.

I unpackaged the knife. I would have preferred something heavier, but it did surprise me. It is great for cutting vegetables into cubes. I have also used it with 1/2 sliced ham. I used it to make 1/2 cubes of ham. Mine did come will a black blade guard. I chose to buy a purchase a wooden block from WHolzapfel Woodwork to keep it (and me) safe. I purchased mine in March 2019. I have ordered a second knife and block for my daughter.

Lived overseas for twenty years and these were in every kitchen. Loved mine! Been back for several years and have just gotten around to replacing it. So glad I did. It makes such quick work of anything that needs a quick chop, and, of course, it's great on pizza!One drawback, due to size and shape, it's a bit awkward to store. Wish it had a nice little wooden stand, but it doesn't and I'm not handy, so can't create one. It would hang fine on a magnetic knife rack, but for now, mine is lying on top of a set of canisters that are out of the way.

I am so happy with this Mezzaluna. I purchased it to make salads like a local salad business and it had surpassed my expectations. It is sharp, and chops extremely well (be careful with your fingers when you first start to use it). I purchased a wood knife block (in Red Oak) to store it in from WHolzapel Woodwork (I found him on Facebook and he is also on twitter). This was the best purchase!

Beautiful item
