What are you going to use to carve your pumpkins this year?

I'm leaning towards my serrated Kershaw leek. Serrated for the removal of major chunks of pumpkin flesh--cutting out the lid and cutting the general eye/nose/mouth shapes--and its got a nimble, thin blade with a nice pointy point for the detail work. Its like it was designed for this.

Buddy of mine wanted to borrow my Endura. Yeah, right! I never loan my knives out. Soooooo, I helped him and his kids out carving all night. Well, it gave me lots of stuff to cut. :)
 
Last time I carved a pumpkin I used an xacto knife, a Henckles paring knife, and one of those blunt 'child-safe' pumpkin carver thingies.

Not as bada$$ as going at a pumpkin with an ESEE Junglas, but it was a pretty sweet pumpkin!

Wow, thats a cool one and I can't believe there's already a contest in the ESEE forum... Which reminds me, the izula ain't a bad choice at all...
 
Qualities of a good pumpkin knife:

1) Easy to clean
2) Sharp
3) Narrow blade (for cutting curves)
4) At least 3" long (for full penetration)
5) Blade not too thick (for control), but can't bend either.
6) Handle that won't get slippery

My choice, an Old Hickory paring knife and boning knife. :thumbup:
 
Same pumpkin carving knife three years running - Ken Coats Toothpick.
