    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.

    I would've hated to have that when I was with wife #1. When she got mad, she ran for the sharp knives. I'd probably be headless right now... Really.

    My experience with the slap-chop gimmick is that it does not cut so much as mash what you are trying to mince or chop. Man up and use a chef's pattern or, as Dave suggested, a mezzaluna that you can sharpen with a ceramic rod.

    Real men just use a rock and are happy to have it. Ask Charles.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Actually, real men eat onions like an apple, skin and all.

    The rest of you who like burning, stinging, teary eyes can continue to use a knife.
    Did you try it on your nuts? Vince says you're gonna love'm!

    Maybe I've left out an important piece of information. I didn't get the slap chop -- I found a great chopper at Williams-Sonoma. THAT's what I'm reviewing.

    As far as trying it on my nuts...well, the one I have doesn't do nuts, so I'm out of luck there.
