Henckels Mincing Knife is terrific for mincing and chopping onions, herbs and other foods. This quality tool is 5" in size, very sharp, curved and double-bladed for excellent cutting action.

You may need to slice the onion initially with a regular slicing knife, but once that slice is on the cutting board, the chopping is extremely easy - just rock the mincing knife over it, and the double action really speeds up the process. There is also absolutely no strain on the hand with this action.

Since it has such a unique shape, storing this knife will take some ingenuity. You can hung it on the wall directly above your cutting area, or find a good safe drawer space for it. You could also add a drop-down add-a-drawer component to the underneath of your overhead cabinets. This could also be used for your other favorite sharp cook's tools.
