What is everyone using to carve pumpkins this year? I will start :)
After running through my collection, I chose three blades:
1. Serrated Milli for cutting open the tops to remoce the innards.
It sawed through the largest and thickest pumpkin tops with control and ease.
2. H1 Catchermen for fine carving.
The very very sharp, flexible blade made for a fine carving implement. I
3. Caly 3 for touch ups
The Caly 3 made for a fine touch up blade on fine detail points...

I think this is the third one of these threads started on pumpkin carving. Mine will be the Endura.

Erm... how do you carve a pumpkin? I mean, I did the poke a hole for the eye methods, but I'm wondering how people get the pumpkin to glow and such.
Carry a sharp knife, and life will never be dull

I have to go with my trusty orange/black handled moran. Caly 3.5 for detailing.
