Fox Run Mezzaluna Chopper/Mincing Knife, 1 x 6 x 4.25 inches, Metallic

I'm old fashioned and do most of my chopping by hand with an Ulu. I came across this item the other day and given it had double blades I ordered one. First impression great; weighty, solid and sharp. I proceeded to chop 2 large heads of cabbage, bag of carrots, peppers and more to can 12 jars cabbage/pepper hash. The chopper was great! You are going to get large pieces lodged between the blades. The design allows you to push out pieces from top of blade without getting your fingers near the sharp edges. Easy-peasy. I washed the chopper in my dishwasher and it came out great. Will give an update after I use it for a longer period of time. For now I'm impressed.

I saw something similar at Subway and saw the positive reviews on this that it was similar. I'm very happy with it. It does a great job. Think "cole slaw" pieces. I had read the warnings about it cutting up bowls and I decided to just use a dollar-store plastic bowl to begin with. Even though I was very light with my hand (you don't need to apply any pressure at all to cut things), it did end up cutting a slit in my bowl after two uses. No big deal since it's a cheap bowl anyway and I expected it. Things do get caught between the blades, but I just use the mezzaluna in one hand and a butter knife in the other. I use the butter knife to remove things from between the blades every now and then. You have to redistribute the things in the bowl anyway so I also use the butter knife to stir things around. It cleans up with basically just a rinse.

I use this the chop my salad like I've seen in many salad bars in NYC. I've used it over a dozen times already and it looks like it will last a life time. The blade is very sharp so watch your fingers. There are two reasons I gave it a 4 star and not a 5. It's a little heavy, but again it's solid so that took about 1/4 star off. The other reason is that the blade are a little too close to each other. The salad gets stuck btwn the blades and it's a little annoying. Also if the blades were slightly further apart it would be easier to clean in between them. Again both of theses are not a big deal and for the price I got it for it was a great deal! I strongly recommend it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE, after going to subway and getting a chopped salad I wanted to make my own. I looked high and low for a mezzaluna (cute name by the way...it's Italian for half moon) This one was cheap....super sharp and even comes with little plastic slipcovers (throw away) over the blades. This showed me how sharp this puppy was...and to store it safely....this isn't the kinda tool you wanna throw in your kitchen junk drawer as your fingers will be finely sliced, next time you are rooting around for a peeler ...yikes!! Also be mindful of the bowl you use as it will tear up any kind of plastic bowl...adding stuff to your chopped veggies that I'm sure you didn't want!! It has two super sharp blades, that can result in stuff getting stuck in-between the blades, but it is easy enough to pop out anything stuck in there....well worth the minor inconvenience to have the double blades.

I purchaed this product because it had very good reviews. It turns out that the Fox Run Stainless Steel Mezzaluna is a great product. I am very pleased with the design and performance. The double blades makes it even more durable. Sometimes the lettuce gets in between the blades but it is very easy to scrap and place back into the bowl. It is a small inconvenience compared to paying eight bucks or more for a chopped salad at a restaurant. I give this product five stars.

I'm actually surprised to find so many positive reviews on this. I just made my first salad with this and it came out horrible. The blades are not sharp at all, roughly the same sharpness as a butter knife. The blades wouldn't cut through lettuce it'll only smoosh and bruis everything. I could force it through the carrots but the blades bend because they are so flimsy and food would get stuck between the two blades. I thought this would save me time but it took a lot longer than even a paring knife would have.

When this arrived, I was hoping it would live up to its reviews. Opening the package I checked the sharpness of the blades. One was as described as being very sharp, the other blade was only sharp on the upper edges of the item. would not slice through the salad fixings without using only the upper part. clogging between the blades was expected and not an issue with me. Pluses are that it is extremely hefty and sturdy, easy to grip and well made. the minus's are the sleeves that came with it are ridiculous. Both were stretched over one blade of the item and split so as to be completely useless. Very disappointed in blade protection. For a device that is so well made, cannot believe they would not do better with blade protection

Love this knife. Saw it being used to make a salad at Subway. The owner told me the name of it. Got it and love it. Chops salads in a heartbeat. Careful though, it's very sharp. Very professional.

Easy to use! I used it for parsley, pistachios, spring onions, onions, garlic... Blades are nicely done so it's easy to clean in between

Love this, blades are sharp and product is durable

Very sharp, beware if ever hand washing it. Good product for sure.

Wanted one more like subway! There is more space between blades and doesn't get so stuck in there. Cut myself first time I used it. My fault, but very very sharp and always have to get food out!

Good seller. But all the food get stuck between the 2 blades. I am returning this article
