HIC Harold Imports Squirt-free Grapefruit Knife

My wife got a large box of grapefruit for the holidays, and I wanted a curved blade knife like me mum used when I was a kid. My wife was watching me using the curved blade to make all the cuts, but pointed out the purpose of the other end. (Duh). The other end is actually two straight blades separated by a mm, and that slides along the membranes of the sections. Then use the curved blade along the outer circumference. Works like a charm. Wooden handle is nice. And not made in China (okay, Taiwan, but not China.) Bargain for the price.

Although I am not very coordinated, with this inexpensive tool it's been easy to turn grapefruit into beautiful, self-contained (not raggedy or leaky) segments--which is a surprisingly pleasant way to start breakfast. I always clean the knife as soon as I am done and have never had any trouble removing debris from between the two blades.

The main overwhelming pro is that the quality of this knife is great for the price. The cons revolve around the design. The wooden handle between either end is small and narrow. Fortunately I have tiny hands, but I couldn't imagine anyone else having a comfortable grasp without part of their palm gripping whatever end blade they aren't using. The double blade side seems like a good idea to cut between segments (liths), but unless you take the time to properly guide it, it cuts into the meat of the grapefruit instead, leaving meat to still cling to the liths. I would have been happy with just the curved blade, which I can easily maneuver around each pulp piece. Grapefruit pieces are too small to have to fuss with flipping the knife to get the right blade. Overall, this is one of the cheapest knives I've seen, and I'd rather get this one than dish out $15 for one that's slightly better.

This grapefruit/citrus knife is great. The dual blades make cutting a grapefruit quick and easy. I was so impressed with it that I bought 4 more to give as gifts for family and friend who like grapefruits. I have one at home and one at the office. The best grapefruit knife I've ever used or owned. I highly recommend it to everyone. It was also shipped to me very promptly. Great product...

I bought one of these as a gift for someone who is quite fond of grapefruit, but had never seen a double-ended grapefruit knife. She liked it a lot. About the only drawback is that the blades on the twin-bladed end may be a bit close together; it can be difficult to wash out grapefruit pulp when it gets stuck between those blades.

Anyway, when she lost the one I got her, I ordered her another one. She was just as pleased with the second one.

Also, these points are unrelated to the quality of the item itself, but possibly interesting:

I was really impressed with the speed of shipping: I ordered on a Friday and got it the next day, less than 24 hours later. Thumbs up, Amazon!

It was packed in a box big enough for a thick coffee table book, with about seven air pillows to fill in the excess space. Thumbs down, Amazon.
