Pumpkin Carving

Today I used my Silver Trident. Worked very well, but used a little pumpkin saw for the detailed work.

Anyone else want to share their favorite pumpkin carving tools?

Don't carve pumpkins, but this thread reminded me was what I saw on the local news today...

A man with an old type hockey goalie mask on his face and carving a pumpkin with a chainsaw.

I like the grapefruit knife. Thin curved blade that can saw if needed for detailed corner work.

We have a bunch of little grapefruit sized pumpkins that will be excess in the morning. They will make a trip to the range this weekend for the girls to practice on with their .22s. They liked the ballon shoot-off they had on Sunday and are looking forward to shooting something with a little more "splatter".

Truth be told?
I don't allow the kids to grab any knives around here for pumkin carving because some of them might be sharp and this is a slippery job that doesn't hold still very well. They can use the knives for cutting at the counter, no problem.

The one fast to make tool is a pair of small vise grips holding a woodcutting jigsaw blade.

This is kind of a redneck detail tool that hasn't yet resulted in a "trip to town" injury.

Grapefruit knives? Damn, that's pretty upscale rigging.

We don't do that sort of thing down here. All the neighbour hood kids have grown up and don't trick or treat anymore.

Which is a shame because the lass across the road has matured quite nicely. She can trick and I'll treat
