I was skeptical at first, what to accomplish with this little saws to a full-grown pumpkin. So far I have used sharp serrated kitchen knife. But in fact: With the small saws can cut intricate patterns and the coarse teeth go better through the pumpkin through as a sharp kitchen knife. The plastic spoon has not so convinced because a cookie cutter for melon balls has better proven. All in all: Practical and sufficiently stable at a reasonable price.
