I used my Lone Wolf Paul Perfecto. Small thin blade worked fantastic.

We share similar interests! Love the guitar and CF Kiwi in the background!

I used my Kershaw Chive to make starting cuts for my pumpkin.

Good stuff guys! I haven't done mine yet but have to say that first one with the Cats & Bats is really cool!

ZippoThisKnifeThat .. yours is really nice also!:thumbup:
 
I like slipjoints, thin blades, thin edges. Last night I got my carving tools sharpened up, they are a Schrade 34OT, Case CV Slimline Trapper, Case Amber Bone Trapper in CV and my Vic Military in Alox. Saturday is the big pumpkin carve and my daughter can't wait.

I used the pen blade on my Case swayback jack. It worked great even though my artistic abilities are nil. The blade was just long enough to go through our pumpkin and it zipped through very well. I'll spare you all the pictures.
I asked my three year old what he wanted it to look like and he said angry eyes, sharp teeth and a snotty nose. :)
 
My kids used my BM griptillian plain edge last weekend. The blade was a little wide for fine cutting, but cut through the pumpkin like butter. We'll use the BM 710 M390 this weekend for the last two pumpkins. Narrower blade should be better for the fine cuts.
 
This year we somehow managed to pick out really tough pumpkins. I made short work of them with my Case little Finn and GEC/Scagel Fruitport though.

This is the best pumpkin' carvin' knife I have ever used:

The Case little Finn is a great, often overlooked little knife. Blade length is 3 1/8". It's almost a miniature, but works like a champ. :thumbup:
 
I've carved ours with a Ken Coats Toothpick three years running.

For prior years' pumpkin carving, I've mostly used the Victorinox paring knives - either 3" or 4" blade.
Not as sexy as using one of my EDC blades, but they do a great job...
 
Busse BAD,
Thin, very pointy tip.

But really, when I do serious pumpkin carving, I use tiny little mini saws to get super detailed.

This year I am trying very tiny mini hack saw blades.
 
I've used a Spyderco Centofante 3 for the last few years; works out fairly well due to the thin blade.
