Killoween Texas - In a bizzare turn of events, Mr. Jack O. Lantern was stabbed to death and horribly mutilated Saturday night, by a drunken Tyrolean peasant armed with an Opinel clasp knife. The only witness to the crime, a Colonel Kurtz, was obviously in shock, as he simply kept repeating, "the horror...the horror". The attacker, one Herr Sargenschnitzel, confessed, stating, "Jah, I stabbed das poompkin, und so vaht?"

Let's see the mutiliated victim. :)

At least another, more evil pumpkin didn't eat it...

I used Opinels to do ours too Sarge. The thin blade was perfectly suited to the job. I used my new Garden Knife for the initial cuts, and the Opinel filet knife to do the details. I had several knives there for comparison, but these two performed best. Beat a Mora easily.
 
This is serious. A French made knife being used.

Don't blame the knife, Munk. It was duped into thinking it was cutting a fine soft cheese. The violence of pumpkin carving is so......american;)

I used an old hickory 8" butcher knife, and Okapi, and a SAK to carve ours. It turned out pretty well even though the dog at the discarded chunks of pumpkin and left little pumpkin loafs all over the yard the next day for me to scoop up:rolleyes: That mutt'll eat anything.


Great pic, Sarge:D

The French knives are well made and courageous enough. You just have to discard the white flag that the French require be sent out with each one.
 
Herr Sargenschnitzel sitting by the fire, telling ghost stories and getting FUBAR, "Prost". :D :p ;)
