Get your pumpkin carving kit *now* before it's later tonight and you convince yourself a steak knife will work just fine, but it won't and you'll be posting on Bluesky saying, "I just lacerated myself carving a pumpkin. CPSC is going to be so disappointed in me :( "

I feel like a steak knife would actually work significantly better than those flimsy pumpkin knives, though.

It might seem that way at first because the steak knife is so sturdy, but it's actually very easy for your hand to slip while carving angles on a pumpkin. A pumpkin carving tool has much better grip and most won't cut you if you slip.

If I owned a steak knife, I’d probably try to test this. Fortunately for my fingers, though, I do not own a steak knife. Or a pumpkin. I have a bunch of fake pumpkins I’ve carved over the years, but no real ones.
