A child safe cutter for use by children in carving pulpy round fruits and capable of clearing particulate from a kerf being formed in said fruits to prevent jamming of said cutter therein, said cutter comprising:

• a handle for gripping the cutter;
• an elongated blade mounted on said handle and extending away therefrom to define a tip, said elongated blade having at least one edge and a thickness defined by two opposing sides;
• a plurality of cutting teeth positioned transversely along at least a portion of said at least one edge in an area between the handle and the tip;
• said cutting teeth being provided with at least one cutting edge extending slightly beyond the thickness of said blade and being alternately angularly disposed relative to each other, and wherein said tip is a hook member.
