Beautiful bamboo; mezzaluna is tricky to use.
I thought I would really like the double-bladed mezzaluna, but I find I don't so much. As another reviewer said, things you are chopping get stuck between the blades. That said, it makes quick work of chopping and is very, very sharp. I haven't needed to sharpen the blades yet, but I think if I needed to I could unscrew one of the blades and sharpen it with my Presto electric knife sharpener.
The cutting board is beautiful, very dense wood, and a pleasure to use. I give it a bit of food-grade mineral oil periodically to keep the wood healthy. Normally, unless I am chopping something that needs soap to wash, I just rinse it after I'm finished chopping something vegetable in nature and stand it on its side to drip dry. This works well.

J.A.Henckels 2 pc. mincing set
I found this item to be of superior quality but also found that a round, deep wooden bowl would be the best used with this utensil. It has a nice sharp edge but getting use to the rocking motion of chopping was somewhat difficult. Overall, I would recommend it to the serious cook.

Great Mincer
I bought this mincer for my wife for her birthday. She enjoys herbs from her garden. It is sharp and can be used with one hand. Cleaning is very easy. Caution must be used when cleaning the middle of the blades. I recommend this product
