I bought the board, because I like to eat fresh herbs. But the board is fine. The round inner part is good for cutting, it can not think out there and can be pushed over the recess in the bowl herbs easily. The blade is sharp, but unfortunately and therefore only 4 stars, are so close to each other, remain that the herbs hanging interior between the blade and push yourself. That is a slight Frimelei to the stuff again is untern. Value for money is but perfect.
