Ultimate Spyderco pumpkin-carving knife?

[Jeff/1911]

So, which Spydie do you think would make the best pumpkin carving knife? This idea came up tonight as I tried to decide which of mine I’d use on the weekend. I think I’ve finally settled upon my stainless serrated Police. How about you? Why do you think so? Cheers, Jeff/1911.

My Frank Centofante C50G should do just great for carving with it's spearpoint 3 5/8" blade and a Spyder Edge. Some other Spyderco models that fit the sharp point, slim long blade catagory: Police, Rookie, Endura, Catcherman, Dyad C44, and Howard Viele C42.

This was in response to a question about taking out a splinter, butt seems to fit this thread too. Along with possibly the worst pumpkin carver.

Naw.... actually the Q would probably be the worst. The cleanup would be horrible. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

i would use a fixed blade due to clean up.

chinook what knife is that second from the top with the little lever on the side.

With out a doubt, the ultimate pumpkin carver is the Paring knife from the Pro Culinaire series.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

I second what Clay said.

Some laws permit, what honor dose not.

DO NOT USE A DREMEL OR OTHER ROTARY TOOL

It makes a mess, is too short, and difficult to make precision cuts w/

I agree that a long thin blade would work well.
(hmm maybe I should get a Catcherman in time for halloween)

ftkinney...
That is the C50GS Centofante II and that slide switch is the Securlock feature designed by Frank Centofante which blocks and locks the blade in the open position.

It has been discontinued and some good buys can be found on it now and the smaller C25 which also has the Securlock.

The pic here shows the smaller version in locked position.

Blades, I think the Calypso will make a wonderful choice for jack-o-lantern-ization. I intend to try mine, along with my serrated Police.

Cheers, Jeff/1911.

I guess I need to buy a Calypso before Hallowen!! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

So how did it work out?

[aero_student]

I used a moran drop point and it went right through them pumpkin. It was also easy to clean up.
