It requires more than a knife and a nightmare to carve a pumpkin that scares children. Here's a set of old-school tools that'll cut up a seasonal gourd with style.
Warren Cutlery's Pro Pumpkin Kit comes with one five-inch long walnut handle and six different serrated blades. Simply pop a blade into the handle, wrench it in tightly, and you've got a serious carving tool that won't bend or shear, unlike its plastic, half-tang, semi-disposable cousins that seem to always come in orange. You even have the option of a smaller blade, for tiny tooth detailing, and larger blades, for more structural work.
The handle featured in Warren Cutlery's set is actually their JRX handle, a serious handle for woodworking. So after November 1, you can plug a chisel or awl into it and keep it functional year round (with the proper blades, of course.) But even if you never use it for woodworking, it's still a set of pumpkin-carving tools that will last years longer than your moldy jack o'lantern for $20.
The Pro Pumpkin kit is available from Warren Cutlery and Amazon.
