I was worried that I wasn't going to receive anything this exchange as my original Santa hadn't sent anything. I received an email saying I'd been rematched and then less than an hour later another email saying the gift was shipped, what a relief! The gift then arrived the next day so the whole rematching process was super fast. Thanks for that, I'm really grateful!

I opened the box and inside was a wooden board with a shallow bowel carved into it, and an odd looking two handled knife. From closer inspection the knife had two blades. I thought how long until I cut off a finger with this, I'm bad enough with regular knives!

I tested it out on some coriander (cilantro) and it worked like a dream! After only a few cuts all the leaves were sufficiently diced. So much easier than using a regular knife, especially how the curvature of the very sharp blades and the bowl mean you don't even have to lift the whole thing up. (The blades are so sharp that I cut myself on it through a dish cloth when cleaning it, didn't even make it past the first use without cutting myself lol)

I love using loads of herbs and spices when cooking and this really thoughtful gift will make that even easier than before. I really appreciate this gift, thank you so much!
