Truth be told?
I don't allow the kids to grab any knives around here for pumkin carving because some of them might be sharp and this is a slippery job that doesn't hold still very well. They can use the knives for cutting at the counter, no problem.

The one fast to make tool is a pair of small vise grips holding a woodcutting jigsaw blade.

This is kind of a redneck detail tool that hasn't yet resulted in a "trip to town" injury.

Grapefruit knives? Damn, that's pretty upscale rigging.
