I've got a mezzaluna, one of those curved blades with a handle at each
end that is used for chopping herbs. My mother gave it to me. You can
chop one-handed, which I find very helpful. Likewise my one-handed
pepper-grinder which has two levers that you squeeze.

It's not really a gadget, but I really couldn't do without my Bamix
stick blender.
