Are there any with blades that are sharp enough to actually cut
instead of bruise and that stay sharp and that don't clump?

Try a chef's knife. It stays sharp, cuts, doesn't bruise, doesn't
clump, cleans easily and should already be in your kitchen.

Any knife needs to be sharpened occasionally. I have the fancy Chef's
sharpener and a name brand steel, but what I use more is my old
fashioned whet stone that I bought at the dollar store or (more
likely) in Chinatown. I've started keeping it out on the window
ledge, so it's always in sight. That way, I remember to give my knife
a swipe or two before I slice something sensitive, like a tomato.

As far as food chopper blades, treat them like your good knives - do
*not* put them through the dishwasher and they will stay sharp for
years; provided you don't try to chop bone, wood or stones with it.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a herb chopper and not a knife. Any
recommendations?

I use my Ninja mini for that. To keep the blades sharp, do *not* wash
them in the dishwasher.

Get a mezzaluna. It's a crescent shaped steel blade with handles on both
ends. You can sharpen it like a knife. It chops with a rocking motion
and is very efficient.

Oh my YES. The mezzaluna is a fine tool. I do put mine in the dw and don't
mind sharpening it. Polly
