These are random moments in the life of an indecent designer and the city she loves.

I am a female, carbon based lifeform.
I am a New York City Native.
I am a Design Professional.
I take photographs.
I also sculpt, paint, create mosaics, and play with weapons.
And sometimes, I even dance about Architecture.
What I see, is what you get.
Chops things. Think of it like a pogo stick with blades on the bottom.
so I'm presuming it chops herbs, garlic etc . . . as opposed to spuds, trees, pestering exes.
I usually use it for tuna and eggs, but it will chop anything, really.
Does look clever, but I've never seen anything like it over here. Is it expensive?
I don't even know if anyone makes them new anymore. I occasionally see them in antique shops.

Ebay has one. 5 bucks.
Oh sorry, I thought it was a new tool. That would probably explain why I've not come across it, it's only the last few years I've begun to notice things like this, as I've got more interested in cooking :)
They really are quite handy. We always had one at home. My mother I'm sure still has her black handled one.
It looks a fantastic device for sure. One of my favourite tools my mother had when I was young, was a wire egg slicer.
You'd put the egg in a recessed tray then fold the top down which was about five wires I think and it used to slice your boiled egg perfectly. I think you could use it for cutting cheese too. :)
You do? They are excellent. Why they are no longer available is beyond me :)
they sell egg slicers in ikea! thats where ours is form after I broke the old one playing with it!!
