You know, carve your pumpkin? Me, Mora Craftline and Kabat Small Tanto.... like butta!
 
Well normally I use a smaller knife like a Mora 510. This year my boys decided to get a frikkin gigantic pumpkin so I ended up using my Mora 2000. Blasted rind on this thing looks 2 inches thick.
 
A knife designed for cutting gourds and melons (of course)...

Fallkniven F2 and a KOA boar hunter. They've done the job well for the last couple of years.
 
Debating between using my Orange Skyline fixed blade or brown Skyline folder tonight. Decisions decisions decisions.

Pics post pumpkin murder later tonight
 
ZT 0301. I use the stab technique, it wasnt the coolest pumkin at the party but I was done in 2 minutes. I enjoyed my beers while I watched everyone else carve their artwork for an hour.
 
An old U.S. Schrade 8OT Stockman. My son used one of those kits with the various tools in them, and he's quite good with them. Pics later.

Sorry to disappoint but the best I have found is the pumpkin masters kit. It uses something like a jigsaw type blade and patterns.

The fun comes when it is time to deanimate them. For that a machete is my preferred tool.
 
I used my benchmade 530 to carve the bigger sections out and back cut the design; smaller details were done with a tiny pumpkin saw. It took me about an hour to gut, clean and carve this pumpkin-dracula as the rind is about 2" thick... I was tempted to break out the sawzall! :D

The 2012 traditional forum knife from GEC, a no-name melon tester, and a kitchen knife I made years ago.

I know, I know...the design is simple, but that's what my son wanted :D
Happy Halloween, everyone!!
