Vintage Herb Chopper/Mezzaluna/Hachoirs - c. 1920 (New Styles - July 2025)
Can you smell the chopped mirepoix already? These handheld French herb choppers (hachoir) have been used throughout France for generations to make cutting herbs quick and easy. And they are getting more and more difficult for me to find. Believe me when I say I've tried all the modern gadgets for this purpose and always come back to my mezzaluna. This collection is in outstanding condition with just the right amount of patina.
Each chopper is unique and different but all are approximately 5" high and 10" long (message me if you want an exact measurement on one). While I don't normally recommend vintage products be used on food items, this I think, would be an exception. Especially, since the blades are still sharp and in good condition (except #7, see photo 7A). But, of course, always use your own judgement.
Notice each photo's numbering and choose accordingly from the drop-down menu. (Price is for one.)
