Anyone watching Today show (West coast)? What kind of knife...

[Maddy McCall]

was that chef just using? It looked like a curved cleaver with two handles, one on each end of the blade.

She chopped cilantro with it as she was making guacamole. Anyone know what that cool knife is called?

A Chopping Knife?

I used to have one. I got it with a wok set.

1. A mezzaluna?

3. YES! Thanks!!!

I want one! I guess a DUer named "mallrat" should know where to find one. :-)

Where can I find a cool knife like that?

4. Try Williams-Sonoma...

they usually carry every kind of kitchen utensil known to man.

Here it is: http://ww2.williams-sonoma.com/sch/kwd.cfm?words=mezzaluna&src=hme%2Fhme&fromheader=1&action=KWD

6. Macy's Cellar...

or any gourmet kitchem store or department.

Williams-Sonoma should be in most malls, or order one from the web.

I had one, and it's a little tricky to learn to use right, but works very well for some things. Things you don't have to hold with one hand.

on edit: If there are any Lechter's Housewares still around, they often have what W-S has for much less.

7. Will do...

thanks for the suggestions. We have a McRaes with a pretty extensive kitchenware department in my hometown. :-)

2. From the description, sounds like a mezzaluna.

Great for chopping up things very fine.
