Thanks for the great responses! The Vidalia is exactly what I'm looking for.

 

Fyi, I do have an excellent Japanese chef knife that I got at Korin before I left NY. It needs sharpening though, something I'm not familiar with nor have I been able to find a service near me. Besides, someone needs to teach me how to use it! I'm really hopeless in the kitchen and cook out of necessity, not for fun! 

 

It's good to know that the chopper is what you want!

 

If you should decide that you would like to acquire some knife skills, or improve them, then I recommend this excellent course from the eGCI (eGullet Culinary Institute) archives: Basic Knife Skills. The associated Q&A is no longer active, but you can still learn from the course. I did. Lots. 🙂

 

Edited to add: there's also a great course on Knife Maintenance and Sharpening in those archives.
