I've made pesto with this twice, using a recipe I'll link to below. I was pleased to note that when they said 8 inches, it was 8 inches from handle to handle - so the blade was actually a bit bigger than I expected! It's sharp enough to mince basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic and parmesan, and that's really all I need. I would not recommend getting a fancy cutting board to go with it, unless you plan to invest in a really amazing mezzaluna somewhere down the line. A large wooden one (I nabbed a cheap one from a grocery store) should be fine, and having a bowl to "contain" stuff doesn't really matter much as long as you're not a violent chopper.
All that said, this is a very average sort of knife. Eventually I will get a a really amazing mezzaluna - and this is not that knife. It's excellent for the price, though, and has so far kept an edge for the few weeks I've had it. Perfect for a non-professional chef on a budget (who still wants quality).
And finally, the best pesto I've ever had, which requires a mezzaluna to make: [...]

This tool reduces basil into pesto, roasted ancho peppers into chili, and whatever you want into whatever else you want with a minimum of fuss and bother. My sister turned me on to this a few months ago, and I must admit that I now reach for the mezzaluna instead of the blitzer when I need to chop small to medium amounts of stuff. You just grab the handles and rock it back and forth on your cutting board. Minimum effort and maximum results. Try making pesto with this, it really tastes better than pesto made in a food processor. I guess the Italians know a thing or two about cooking...

Really enjoy chopping lettuce with this product!! Works great. Wish I had a little safety holder to store it because it is sharp.

I recommend the 10-inch mezzaluna compared to a smaller sized one. We regularly eat at Chop't in DC, and were curious as to why we enjoyed their salad so much over other salad places in the city. We thought it was because of the chopped salad, and we invested in a mezzaluna. We were contemplating buying a smaller one, but we are so glad we bought the 10-inch product. The mezzaluna has been cutting our salads with ease. Highly recommend it!

Was apprehensive when I ordered this product, but once I opened the box that it came in, my fears were put to rest. Good finishing for the price.

This knife is great! Very sharp, so be careful! It's a fun knife to use, but also very functional when chopping herbs, etc. would definitely recommend:)

Great but dull
The Mezzaluna is nice, however it's rather dull. As a result some greens go un-chopped unless you place a lot of pressure on the Mezzaluna.

Mezzaluna
I should have been using this a long time ago. I can finely chop things in half the time. Almost as fast as food processor without the bruising to some foods. Read more
