For some reason the pile of cut carrots struck me as being
picture-worthy. The cutter is an old Disston tool, and is kept sharp as any
knife. It is sort of like the Inuit knife, the ulu, and is very, very handy. I
can slice several carrots or celery stalks with more ease than with my large
chef’s knife – a wicked instrument. And for mincing parsley or chopping nuts,
it cannot be beat.
I admit to owning an old Kitchen Aid mini food chopper, but
I rarely use it. Why drag that out and have to clean all the pieces later, when
I can get out my trusty Disston cutter and get slices the size I want with only
a blade and a cutting board to clean. Minimalism make sense to me.
