Joseph Joseph has brought the traditional weighing knife into modern times: Its design makes the Mezzaluna both safer and more compact than other representatives of its kind. In the Mediterranean way: the Mezzaluna cradle knife takes its name from the Italian word for crescent. As with its eponym, the sickle is harmless, because the two handles of the weighing knife are simply folded around the blade when not in use. This keeps the blade protected and the hands safe from cuts. In addition, the folded mezzaluna can easily be stowed away thanks to its small size. The stainless steel blade ensures that herbs, spices and everything else are easy to cut. The silicone handles have an anti-slip coating to make the use of the Mezzaluna Weighing Knife as safe as possible.
