Goldfish Handmade Vegetable Cutter


This is what my goldfish cutter looks like. Similar to the double flower one, it is mounted on a "handle" for easier manipulation, and also to provide stability to the design while pressing.

This one has lots more detail, including rounded eyes and a cool fantail. The eye circles are soldered to the handle to stay in place. These pictures all show the bottom of the cutter; the part which actually cuts the vegetable. The metal is very thin and gives a nice sharp edge. The eyes are so tiny, though, that the carrot gets stuck...and must be removed with a straight pin :)

    Thanks megan and Pigs Do Fly -- you're right; they are seriously awesome! Actually I know some are available in a dusty Chinatown shop, and I tried to get some info from the shopkeeper but unfortunately there was some language barrier issues! Maybe I could ask to see the box or something....

    Thanks for the Over The Top award Michelle! I will work on that right away!

    But, although I can't provide ordering info, I would be happy to try to buy for any of you! (Not cheap though)

    I do love these cutters and when I find them in the shops, find them irresistable. I have a lovely dragon, a neptune and a recent find: a tulip.

    Oh! Where do you find yours? I have a dragon too, and I have seen the tulip, with a stem and leaves, as well :)
