Small hand-forged Turkish zirh mincing knife with carbon steel blade and turned hardwood handle.

Made for use with a rocking motion, these large blades make quick work of mincing meat, herbs and vegetables together. Think of it as a giant single handled mezzaluna or hachoir.

The texture and resulting flavors of food cut with these zirh are distinct, there's a very good reason these have not been entirely replaced by electric grinders in the Middle East. We are really happy to have finally found a source for them.

Please note that these knives can vary widely in size and weight.
