Cutting nuts; and ulu/round knives

[ohgillian]

Does anyone have an ulu or curved knife, like this:

Is it useful for chopping nuts? I chop a lot of nuts; I have never loved my nut grinder and the food processor is a joke.

I don't, but I use my coffee grinder to grind nuts. I wonder if it would be better/worse/same as the nut grinder.
