    Dunno. I guess you'll have to ask Vince's nuts.

    Some have multiple blades...



    I have a cheap one... found it at Target.

    I used the single blade original version to finely chop mulukhiyah as a child starting at age 8. We converted a large piece of butcher block just for the job as it was chopped right away in bulk as soon as we harvested it. It was a big job and I was paid 25 cents to chop it all down to about a bushel when all's said and done.

    I have one of those from Alaska Cutlery. Every-time I look at it I have the weirdest urge to skin a whale. That thing is sharp

    I would hate to have had one of those when I was married to the 1st wife. When she got mad she ran for the sharp things. Probably would be headless by the looks of them...Really.

    Every time I call 'DSG "Slap chops", she gets hugely pissed off.

    Is that any good? You decide...

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. She ever dumps your butt in the street, there'll be a line of suitors around the block as soon as the word gets around.

    Only sissies can't chop onions with a good chef's knife. My sole concession to modernity is that I like to use one of those flexible, plastic sheets on which to do the chopping -- makes it easier to shuffle the onion mince (or dice) into whatever vessel is required.

    My xyl (who is an admitted sissy) has one of those chop-a-slop gadgets. It mashes the onion mince, making a wet mass of mashed bits laced through with strings and strips of onion skins (the very thin membranes between the layers). One hell of a mess.

    Smart people work smarter, not harder :p

    When I do an onion, I cut the ends and remove the skin, THEN throw it in the chopper. No mess. It's not that I CAN'T chop it with a knife, it's that if I want it finely chopped, the chopper thing is much, much faster. With three kids and everything else I've got going on, if I can get it done faster, all the better when it comes to cooking.
