ABSTRACT:
An elongated tube having interconnected sidewalls defining a generally central cavity extending the length thereof from one end to the other end is particularly designed for cutting the "facial" openings in a pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern. The front end of the cutter has sharp pumpkin cutting edges, while the rear end of the cutter is adapted to be held for operating the cutter. Preferably, the cutter is formed of a single folded sheet of thin hard metal or plastic and is generally triangular in front and rear elevation. The cutter can taper down from the front end to the rear end. In one embodiment the cutting edges are divided into spaced longitudinally extending generally rectangular or triangular segments. The triangular segments have their apices projecting forward. One of the triangular segments may extend forward of the remainder of the triangular segments to facilitate the starting of the punching and cutting of a pumpkin. In another embodiment the front end and the rear end of the cutter have cutting edges which differ in configuration. In a further embodiment the cutter has a plug inserted into the rear end of the cutter and extending therearound to protect the hand of a user during use of the cutter. The cutter is inexpensive, durable and has improved safety in use.
