Free bump. Can't belive no one has done this yet. I'll have some up in a day or so.
 
My little helper and my pride and joy! :)


Knives that were closest by. The 0350 does not excel at this kind of stuff so it got used for about 5 seconds. The PM2 penetrates pretty good because of the pointy tip but a little to thick. The Opinel #7 though was perfect! Cut it like butter.




Then the little pumpkin I made for my little man. I could just barely fit my hand inside the dang thing to scrap it all out.

Thank you for the opportunity to add a new knife to the collection :)
 
Went to carve at friend's place.
The one that says "VT" and the one with the cat.

The pictures are great! They are also giving me ideas on how to carve my own pumpkins!

Keeping this open until November 1st because I know a lot of people don't carve their pumpkins until the day of!
 
This is the first pumpkin I've tried to carve. It's not a true jack-o-lantern, I suppose, since I didn't cut all the way through. My intention is to cook it up when I'm done displaying it, so I wanted to preserve its insides for later processing. The little knife is a fixed blade made by a small-time maker that I picked up on the Exchange a year ago. Not super refined, but it functionally is fine.

 
Here's my entry, done with a trapper, Opinel #9 and a Benchmade 527 plus various kitchen Utensils!
