MezzaLuna means half moon in italian. It is also ‘moon shaped’ knife very popular in italy and in restaurants.

I’ve bought such double herb knfie on auction for a very, very little amount of money. It is because the condition of the knife was terrible: rust everywhere, scratches on wood, dull and somebody make more, deep scratches in metal tryin to remove the rust.
