"Double blade a disappointment"
Have used the mincing set several times now and for the most part enjoy it. The draw back is the cutter (it is quite sharp, by the way - so be careful). Looking at it the cutter looks double efficient however, I've been using it with cilantro, which is clingy anyway and it really gets into the space between the blades. Difficult clearing it out and drying it without getting cut. Hoping for better results with parsely and other herbs. The board/bowl is great. Cleans up nicely.

"Great chopper/mincer"
I have used this mincing set for everything from crushing pecans to mincing boiled eggs for salads. The quality of the steel is such that edge retention is superb. By using the the curved twin blades and the concave cutting board together, it makes the above mentioned tasks much easier and alot neater (compared to conventional knives and boards). The unique style and design of the two pieces have made them the focal point of many conversations with friends and family visiting our kitchen. The handle is easy for me to grip and allows a great of control; my wife says that she wishes it had an insulated grip, similar to that of our Henckels 5 Star set (she has arthritis in her hands and wrists). Overall, I feel this set is the best value on the market (quality and price). I am considering ordering 4-5 additional sets as Christmas gifts for people that I know who would use and appreciate them. GJM

"chopping herbs is a breeze"
It's not cheap but it's a great luxury item if you use alot of fresh herbs in your cooking. This set is wonderful for chopping fresh herbs. The blade on the knife is very sharp and the bamboo cutting board makes for a perfect combination with the dip being the perfect size for the knife and perfect for putting the herbs in a heap for easy cutting. I'm very happy with my purchase.

"Busy B&B LOVES Mezzaluna!"
Since I own a B&B, I grow my own herbs. I have owned this mezzaluna for a number of years and it's still going strong; the blades are just as razor-sharp for mincing fresh herbs as they were the first time I used it. The wooden "bowl" has become somewhat discolored, but that's okay by me -- it's just beginning to take on that "antiqued" look that I love! This is one of those little-known products that makes you say, "How did I ever get along without this?" You can mince ANY fresh herb quickly and near-effortlessly with this item. I also use it for chopping other fresh vegetables and dried fruit for my scones. The ONLY drawback (honestly) is the design of the blade. The handle resembles the blade so much that you need to be extra careful not to grab the blade instead of the handle -- which is why it only gets four stars and not five! If Henckels would revisit this "character flaw," they'd have a perfect product! Oh, and you won't want to submerge the wooden chopping bowl in water for any great length of time (just as you wouldn't want to do that with a good chopping board, either) as it might warp somewhat. Mine did just that, but when it dried completely, it went back into shape -- and I learned my lesson -- which I'm now sharing with you! This is a product for serious cooks who spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing quality, fresh food. I ordered five of these and doled them out to friends and family members (who are "serious cooks") for Christmas gifts. They all love theirs! Enjoy your newest kitchen gadget and use with confidence!

"Great kitchen addition!"
I received mine as a gift and enjoyed using it so much I gave one as a gift to a friend. It's perfect for mincing fresh herbs from the garden. I first saw it being used in a cooking class and thought it was a "must have" in the home gourmet chef's kitchen. I like the curved bowl and the one-hand handle on the mincer. Great product and fun to use!
