I have 2 or 3 knock offs but I hardly ever use one any more.
My Mother bought one for my Grandmother, and she wore out a chopping board with the thing. Back in the day it was one of those kitchen gadgets you never knew you needed until you used one for the first time.
"Watch this, you're gonna love my nuts."...
Well now I want one.
I have 2 of these that I use quite often. They've remedied the chipping out of the cutting board by limiting the stroke so it barely makes contact with the cutting surface and providing a cap that covers the bottom which also acts as a catch for the freshly chopped items but you can use it without for larger amounts. They don't show you that there is a "wiper" cap that the blades slip through to keep things from sticking to the blades, keeping it in the cutting area. I use mine when I make duxelles for mushroom soup or green bean casserole but they're great for mincing anything really quickly. Regular cutting / chopping is usually still done with a knife though.
