Abstract
The tool comprises two substantially annular and coaxial blades, an inner one and an outer one respectively, each of which has a frontal cutting edge, and a handgrip for enabling the blades to be pushed into the fruit and possibly rotated so as to separate the core and the skin from the fleshy part through the action of the cutting edge of the inner blade and the cutting edge of the outer blade, respectively. Each blade has associated elongate parts for connecting it to the handgrip which, together with the blades themselves, constitute regions of a single tubular body substantially free from roughness.
