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?


I find the Images search on Google good for this sort of thing. There
must have been some research done on the eye discriminating more
quickly between images that would fit in.

Anyway, it turned up this:

Yes that's the kind of thing I want, but it needs to be much
larger. I'll get a large knife and make one. I am amazed that all
kitchen shops don't have pumpkin cutters for sale. There's an
idea for someone to make some money.
