Abstract
The tool comprises a handle attached to a blade having a series of V-shaped, tapered corrugations extending substantially over the length of the blade and traversing the width of the blade. The edge of the blade at the tapered end of the corrugations is sharpened to form a cutting edge which is curved in the plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the corrugations to conform more or less to the surface curve of the fruit. It is especially useful for crowning melons.
