Antique French Hand-Forged Herb Chopper with Pine Handle

Made for a French cook and used for generations, this antique herb chopper has the charm that makes old kitchen tools so wonderful to collect. The hand-forged steel blade is riveted into its pine handle, with plenty of age and wear on the steel. Traditionally used for chopping herbs or cutting portions of dough, it is a lovely reminder of a time when French cooks relied on simple, well-made tools for everyday cooking. <p>Wear, age, and all the wonderful signs of a well-loved culinary antique remain on this late 19th-century chopper. We’ve oiled the handle, cleaned the steel, and sharpened the edge, leaving its timeworn character intact. Display it with an old cutting board, French pottery, or a collection of antique kitchen tools—or keep it close at hand for its original purpose. Measures 7" x 6-7/8".
