What's a good folding "avocado" knife for slicing and de-pitting?

Any good slicer, like an Opinel or trapper, should work. I like blades of at least 3". Been using my Leek to slice oranges at work lately. That should work fine too.
(Of course, at home I just use a chef's knife.)

These work perfect. Otter Messer Drei Nieten Messer (3 rivet knife). I don’t eat avocados (
) but my ol lady does. I’ve used my 3 rivet plenty to bisect, whack and extract pit, and slice em up.
The tip of that spear point gets around the curve of the shell just right. Blade is plenty heavy enough to get the pit out. Plus, they’re a damn handsome knife for about 60 bucks.
