I'm about to carve my Jack-o-lantern, this year I'll probably use my Kershaw Blade Trader, it comes with a nice pointy thin fillet blade that works nice on those long in the tooth cuts, or my Queen Winterbottom Bone Carving Knife, also real thin and flexible.

What are you gonna use?

Nothing yet, but probably a Gerber Yari.

Anyone seen that Corona commercial yet where they carve a lime into a jack-o-lantern? That's so cool! :D

I hear Martha Stewart did hers this year with a shiv she made by sharpening a spoon handle on a cement floor. :eek:
 
I'm thinking about using my ATC Roger's Rangers Spiked Tomahawk.:D...I guess that'll make it look scary enough.:D.
 
Got together with some friends this year and had a little bit of a party/pumpkin carving contest. I took 2 small knives I forged out of an old horseshoe, they don't hold much of an edge but its not like a pumpkin is that tough to cut. And my usual EDC, a stainless framelock with a long clip 3.5" blade.
The horseshoe knives ended up being too short to do much other than detail work on the pumpkins we had. Looked like the other folks were getting some use out of them. I used my framelock for the whole thing and it worked pretty well although a narrower blade would have been nice. I had a bunch of other stuff I was gonna use but didn't want to scare any body :D

They told me the day before, no chainsaw, sawzall, dremel, weedeater, cordless drill,air chisel or any other power tools I had that they hadn't thought of :grumpy:
 
Cheap chinese steak knife with fine serrations for rough work and X-acto carving handle with thin saw blade for details.
 
tried the first one with my assault shaker........pumpkin goo :(
second one with paring knife stolen from the wife.......... nice pumpkin!
 
I'll admit it's been a while since I carved a pumpkin, but I do remember rasslin' with a cumbersome round object and trying to steer the knife blade in the thing. Seems like an excellent way to give onesself an appendectomy.

If I were to carve one this month, I'd use a drywall saw and then clean it up with one of my knives that has a short blade and a good handle. Ought to go a lot faster and safer too.

Is it true they're changing the name of Hallowe'en to Fall Festival in order to be PC?

Uhhhh!

Bolo Machete? :eek: :D :cool: :p
 
This year my daughter Sarah and I carved our 28 lb.pumpkin with a buck fillet knife.We have used the same knife for about 5 years and it works great.
 
I carved a pumpkin two days ago, with my Cold Steel Ti-Lite (the zytel version). The thin blade and point made doing cool detailed stuff really easy. Plus its easy to take apart to clean afterwards.
