“I love using this for cilantro, parsley, onions, and celery. It really simplifies my cooking, especially for sauces and Indian dishes. I just wish it came with a slotted wood storage block for safety.”

"Initially, I felt I could chop faster with a knife, but I just need to get used to this chopper. It cuts great and has a nice grip. My son finds it easy to use, and he has chopped a variety of foods with it. Definitely worth the price!"

"This product chops like a hot knife through butter; it's very sharp and has become one of my favorite chopping tools!"

"I only have use of my right hand, and this is just what I needed."

"I'll never be without this device again. The double blade is a bonus, and it’s very sharp! I have arthritis in my hands, so the handle knobs really help with positioning and lifting. I got creative with storage, using a repurposed cigar box, which keeps it safe and looks cool in the kitchen."

"After seeing chefs use this method, I decided to try it myself. It's very efficient, easier, and safer than using a sharp knife. I’m really pleased with my decision."

"I absolutely love this knife! It’s perfect for mincing and chopping. I’ve used it for parsley, shallots, and garlic, and it’s amazing! I was particularly impressed with how effortlessly I minced parsley. I paired it with the Checkered Chef Mezzaluna Cutting Board, which made it even more enjoyable to use. Recently, I chopped nuts for cookies, and it was incredibly easy—much faster than my usual chopping method. Chopping fresh rosemary for a leg of lamb was also effortless!"

"I'm really pleased with this product. It's easy to use and does an excellent job. I appreciate how it works for mincing small batches of veggies and herbs. The single blade is easier to clean than the two-blade versions, and food doesn’t stick as much. The two handles allow me to use a rocking motion, which is easier on my wrists. Overall, it’s a fantastic kitchen tool!"

"I recently purchased this mezzaluna and started using it right away. It’s an amazing product! Chopping onions was a breeze, and I didn’t worry about cutting myself at all. The blade is sharp, and the handles are very comfortable. Plus, it’s made in Italy, which I appreciate since I prefer products from the USA and Italy."

"Initially, I hesitated to add another tool to my already crowded kitchen, but this half-moon knife has changed my perspective! I used it to chop kale for a recipe and was amazed at how effortless it was. My chef's knife can't chop as quickly as this does. It even helped me create perfectly sliced personal pizzas. If you know a cooking enthusiast who doesn’t have one, they will absolutely love it!"

"I find this knife to be absolutely beautiful! It's a bit heavy but still manageable. The sharpness is impressive, and I appreciate the thick handle, especially with my arthritis. Since it's brand new, I haven't needed to sharpen it yet."

"I really enjoy the weight and curvature of this knife for quickly dicing herbs and small vegetables. For a specialty knife, it has a fantastic balance! Additionally, I love that Dalstrong includes a polishing cloth to keep my knife in like-new condition after washing and drying."

"I must say, I'm quite disappointed with this product. It feels heavy on the hand and wrist, making meal prep challenging for me. I often find myself reaching for my smaller knives instead. I wish I had returned it sooner; honestly, it's not worth the money. I would recommend investing in a lightweight Japanese knife instead."

"I never liked one-use kitchen tools, but this mezzaluna is an exception. It’s super sharp and makes our Friday night pizza nights a breeze. It’s quicker to clean and fits perfectly in my tiny house kitchen. Just a note, since it’s not full-sized, I have to rock it multiple times across the pizza."

"After seeing Nigella Lawson use a mezzaluna, I decided to give it a try. I chose this one for its size and positive reviews. It’s very sharp and appears to be of good quality. So far, there’s no rust, though I haven’t put it in the dishwasher yet."

"I bought this to help cut up multiple chicken breasts for my small dogs. It’s really handy and makes the process much more efficient compared to using a chef’s knife. My only small issue is that it didn’t come with a blade cover, which would make it perfect for my needs. Just a heads up, it’s sharp, so be careful!"
