Editorial Reviews:
Cutting pumpkins, watermelon or cantaloupes with a sharp knife is extremely dangerous. Carving knifes work well but the blades are short and flimsy, the handles don't give you a good grip when cutting or carving wet slippery melons or pumpkins. Our Pumpkin Melon Knife provides our Power Handletm and Smart Bladetm that is simply stated the world's best pumpkin and melon knife.

User Comments about the Van Vacter Pumpkin Melon Knife, Black and Stainless Steel

Due to an incident many years ago involving a filet knife, carving a pumpkin and nearly removing their thumb in the process, I'm looking for less-dangerous ways to carve our pumpkins. Spend the 15 dollars to get this one rather than spending that on those cheap carving kits. It's a lot easier and doesn't require you to have the blade to the hilt constantly to get the job done. It made it frustrating and more often than not my design didn't turn out the way I wanted thanks to how hard it is to maneuver them.Until now, it's been a pain, but thanks to purchasing this carving knife it is so easy.

It will save you time, money and frustration. Just pull out the blade to the skinnier tip and turn the amount you need to turn then continue carving from there. It may not seem enough but it cuts better than a normal knife due to the saw-like appearance without the worry about cutting your finger in the process.I'm going to get another pumpkin this evening just to carve it up with this new blade I like it so much. No problem, stick the blade into the socket and shave off a little of the inside rind to the size you need. This knife isn't very sharp but it gets th ejob done. This year the travesty of using the cheap 'pumpkin carving kit' blades is finally over since one of those blades broke leaving me unable to finish one of our two pumpkins.

It is sturdy, has a great grip and maneuvers with a slight twist. Carving big or small designs is a breeze. This is going to be one to last for years. This blade lets you go in at any angle and make a clecan cut on the FIRST cut, not several. These cheap kit blades are OK but break, bend and need to replaced yearly. Need to trim up the pumpkin where the eyes are more open.

I plan on putting a video review/demo up soon as well. Last year I ended up removing a part I didn't want removed from my pumpkin because the carving kit blade wouldn't do what I needed it.

This tool is definately generational, and I know it will last in my family forever. I bought this knife when I saw a demo on it featured in a local store. I took it home and tried it out, and it was the best investment I have ever made as far as any holiday tool goes. Great job Van Vacter. Not only did it work beautifully when I carved my pumpkins with the kids, but I also use it for my cantaloupes and watermelon.
