Included is the razor-sharp 8 inch Mincing Blade 4740, also known as a mezzaluna which in Italian means half moon. The mezzaluna is produced using the same steel formula and construction as other Wusthof cutlery, and sports the same razor-sharp PEtec edge. Paired with this mincing tool is a beechwood mincing block, contoured to the shape of the mezzaluna. This symmetry between the board and blade allows for a tighter cutting surface and contact area with the blade. If you use garlic frequently in dishes, and who doesn't, then this is a great tool for you. Lifetime Wusthof guarantee. Wusthof item number 1069501202, previously 9881.
