Russells For Men

Historically a Mezzaluna has been a curved blade with a round, knob-style handle on each end that is used for mincing herbs. You will find one in most European kitchens. Shun has taken elements from the mezzaluna, the ulu and the pastry scrapper to create a modern tool that is much easier to use and does a far better job of mincing when used with its companion, bowl-shaped bamboo block. The blade is VG-10 Damascus with 32 layers of 410+nickel stainless laminated with a center core of VG-10. Not only does this create a beautiful knife, but the VG-10 core at 60-62 Rc. produces an easily sharpened and great edge holding blade. The bamboo cutting board measures 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" x 2-1/2" with a slot to park the knife and rubber feet on the bottom to hold it securely in place as you work. Works great on onions, garlic, and fresh herbs. A rocking motion is all that is necessary. Hand washing is recommended for the cutting board and knife. Made in Japan.
