Sounds to me like the little "parsley chopper" I thought I'd use, but
it's way too awkward. Sent it home with son at Thanksgiving time.

Something I never want to be without is my silly little 1 cup jar with
the top through which I put walnut halves to be crank-chopped. No
chopped-size choice, just what I would call medium-chop, and perfect
for my primary want of putting nuts in cookie batter. Easy to take
apart and clean, uses very little shelf space, and certainly cheap
enough to replace every year if need be. After using it for a few
months I did buy a spare just in case, but am still using only the
first one after more than ten years.

Another is the little wood block with the wire cheese slicer attached.
I used the same one for at least thirty years, only replacing it with
an all stainless one while buying same for my grandson to use with the
Pannini maker I got him for Christmas.
