The Most Important Question in October...

#1

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...

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.
