Full of anticipation, I ordered this -from a housewife magazine empfohlene- pumpkin knife. My friends and I wanted it (semiprofessional at least) carve pumpkins. Unfortunately, the knife TOTAL has failed. The knife can be in the plastic holder not properly notice so that it retracts again when cutting. VERY DANGEROUS especially for as little lubbers like me. =) In addition, the knife cuts not particularly good. I have until the end tried the cutting ability to defend (finally I have indeed the knife paid) but after I had the pumpkin blade replaced by an all-purpose knife WMF also I had to realize that the pumpkin blade of Fackelmann not just does the job. The spoon we had not even tried, but are the same switched to metal spoon. Since you have just yet more support. NOT RECOMMENDABLE!
