I once saw a gadget that cuts pumpkins safely. It's basically a
long knife hinged at the end to a baseplate.
I'd like to make one (or buy one) for a friend who is an invalid
and unable to cut pumpkins open.
But when I use Google, any useful sites are buried amongst
millions of damned Halloween sites.
Anyone got a site or ideas for a design?


====================
You might consider a traditional paper guillotine - not the sliding trimmer
type.

It would be worth testing one to see if it works properly on fruit although
they seem to do pretty well on fingers.
