HIC Harold Import Co. 291 HIC Straight Edge Manual Food and Onion Chopper, Stainless Steel Blade, 13 Ounce, Glass, White/Clear

I had previously given this item 4 stars, May 2025, I have now been forced to amend this to 1 star as the metal chopping blades and gris are simply not man enough for the job! Since purchasing it I have only used it to chop peanuts (for the birds), and it has been used about once envery 6 weeks. The cutters are not bent and the base plate through wich the cutters go is twisted and is no longer performing the role for which it was advertised i,e, Nut chopper.

This item is useless unless you use on vert soft nuts, the splines bend totaly out of shape when they see an almond.

The grinder arrived broken and I am awaiting a credit.

De varios cortadores de verduras que ha probado, este es por mucho el mejor a un precio muy razonable ; gracias !

I had one for decades, but then lost it when I moved and I've been looking to buy a new one for years; however, it seems local shops are now only carrying modern style onion choppers that merely bash up/mash up onions without actually chopping them, so I'm so happy to find the classic (effective) onion chopper featured here :) The quality of this one is standard and just as described. The design of this device is simple, so it's easy to operate and clean. It's perfect when you just need to quickly chop/prep a small amount of food (like an onion, garlic, a celery stalk, some herbs, etc.) without having to drag out and plug in a food processor or one of those cumbersome box-type contraptions. This chopper is light enough to just grab with one hand, deposit a few peeled sections of onion and start plunging the bladed shaft up and down until you reach your desired fineness of chopped or minced pieces (which happens relatively fast). I'd like to highlight that this device is perfect for people like me, who don't have the level of dexterity to utilize the knife skills necessary to quickly chop onions and the like. I also enjoy the fact that chopping with this device takes place inside an enclosed glass, so it reduces/avoids... *the accidental cuts which sometimes happen while chopping food with an exposed blade *the direct exposure of sensitive eyes and noses to the Sulphur released when chopping onions *the stinging/burning on fingers from chopping certain chilies by hand *the staining associated with chopping certain beets/beetroot and similar foods *the quick oxidation of prepped ingredients waiting to be added to the main recipe Needless to say, I can definitely recommend it :)

Fantastic product love it
