They're designed specifically to cut pizzas, but they are good at a number of things. The LunaChop M-14 and Checkered Chef Rocker are very similar to classic mezzalunas, but rather than 8 or 10 inches, they measure 14 inches long. The Silchef Premium has two blades, much like many full-size models, which doubles the rate at which you can prep fresh herbs. The KitchenAid KC173O is similarly small, and while it's not quite as attractive, it is more ergonomic and its silicone handle has plenty of grip. The Arctic Circle Alaska Ulu is very much on the small side, as it has only a single blade and is designed to be used with just one hand. There's not a ton of difference from one to the next, so we've also included some options that are shaped very similarly, but either considerably larger or smaller. Mezzalunas are somewhat speciality items that are most commonly used to mince herbs and garlic, cut fresh noodles, and separate pizzas and other flatbreads into slices. For large-scale mincing, we still recommend the Paderno World Cuisine 48215 and Wüsthof 4736, and for rough chopping of salads, the Seth Chopper is a simple and affordable choice. Trying to use a one-handed mezzaluna that's far too curved is always going to be less convenient than using a knife, so that one's out. We did remove a one-handed, single-blade KitchenAid model that's hard to find and also uses too extreme of geometry. As we've mentioned before, these are generally only used for one or two purposes, and as such, there's not a lot that differentiates them from each other.
