So how do you use it? Do you rock it back and forth? A section explaining that would be nice. ClintJCL (talk) 21:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, while rotating it as necessary. Very useful.Bermicourt (talk) 18:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge Herb chopper into Mezzaluna. The Herb chopper page is only one paragraph long and only directly references Mezzalunas and their chopping boards. (It also mentions food processors, though they are used for much more than simply chopping herbs.) There is already a very short section on the Mezzaluna page about the chopping board that links to the Herb chopper page. LeahG22 (talk) 23:55, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge – They're pretty clearly both about the same item, and mezzaluna is a more specific name. It also seems to be the most common name in online stores and in web searches. tamasys (talk) 02:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support but only because it appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME and not for the reasons given. The fact that one page is longer is not a reason to prefer it, nor is mezzaluna more specific than 'herb chopper'; in fact you could say it is the other way around. Also there is another specific name for this implement which is also quite common and that is hachoir which should be mentioned in the lede; another valid name is herb cutter.

PS a herb chopper is usually the implement and does not necessarily include a chopping board. Bermicourt (talk) 18:11, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support the merger. --Melsj (talk) 04:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, or if at all mezzaluna into Herb chopper. There are many types of herb choppers that are not mezzalunas, for instance see pictures in: [1][2][3]. The mezzaluna is a type of herb chopper (though even that is imprecise, some large mezzalunas are used to mince meat for kebab), not the other way around. Free1Soul (talk) 15:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge as initially proposal on the grounds of overlap. The phrase Herb chopper is not used in any of the Amazon links provided by Free1Soul; not all devices that chop herbs are herb choppers. Klbrain (talk) 23:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 14:38, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
