Something small and flexible......

A table steak knife works better than say a large meat cleaver.

Fillet knife is good. I'd run down to K-Mart and pick up an exacto knife. Smallish razor blade at the end of an stylus. Good for precision work. Might x-acto or something like that. Just run around in the craft section, you'll find em.

Exacto makes blades that will handle a pumpkin. I have quite an assortment of differing blades.

go buy a pair of "edward scissor hands" and you can carve a bush into a pumpkin or try your luck on a pumpkin

lol

id say any razor blade or steak knife will do

Crazyman......we have that set in our house....

So it qualies. I'm suprised most houses don't have them.

I like using something I can saw with as opposed to slicing. We're talking pumpkins here. Sawing gives you more control. So serrated blades are a bit easier to control imho.

I use a small finely serrated knife and a #15 scalpel.

Me and a couple friends used a 10 pound sledge hammer back in like 7th grade, we smashed pumpkins, watermelons, and stuff like lettuce, oranges, milk cartons.....it got all over us, and we got in trouble for smashing all my friends stuff, but it was soooo much fun!

I used that pumpkin carving set that Crazyman posted....we usually just buy a new one each year, as the blades aren't of the best quality, and the cheap price.

how do you secure the pumpkin while cutting?
get your neighbor to hold it

UOD: now hold this pumpkin while I take my Jigsaw and cut out the face...be sure to hold still now
Neibhor: umm.... I don't like this

Look Bala...I don't know where you come from...but every self respecting man in these parts has a heavy duty VICE attached to the rear bumber of their truck...perfect for holding on to a pumpkin or any other round object for that matter. LOL
