History
The mezzaluna (meaning "half-moon" in Italian) or hachoir has been a staple of European kitchens since at least the 18th century. Prized for its efficiency in chopping herbs, nuts, and meats, this double-handled design allowed cooks to apply even downward pressure while rocking the blade. Antique examples with hand-forged carbon steel blades and turned wooden handles are highly collectible today both for rustic kitchen display and for historical culinary collections.
