Abstract

A tool for cutting and thereby separating the pulp or edible portion of a melon from the rind portion thereof comprising an elongated flexible material blade capable of being selectively disposed into either a first operative position or a second operative position. The first or second operative position into which the blade is positioned for cutting engagement with a melon is dependent upon the configuration and size of the melon which typically varies between a substantially round configuration or an elongated configuration. The first and second operative positions are respectively defined by a substantially closed loop orientation of the blade wherein the opposite ends are disposed for concurrent gripping by a single hand of the user and alternately an elongated substantially curvilinear orientation of the blade wherein the opposite ends are disposed in spaced apart relation to facilitate gripping of each opposite end by a different hand of the user, during the cutting stroke as the blade is applied to the melon.
