This portable fruit tool is manufactured from stamped 430-series ferritic stainless steel, which is highly resistant to the organic acids found in fresh fruit. The 1.2mm blade thickness provides a balance between weight and durability for camping and outdoor events. Its mirror-grade finish is designed to be dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple after a party.
The build quality is appropriate for daily household use on soft-flesh melons. Because the fork tines are part of a 2-in-1 design, they are best used for serving rather than heavy levering. For the best experience, users should apply consistent pressure rather than sudden force to help protect the high-stress concentration area where the fork meets the blade. Using non-abrasive cleaners will help protect the mirror finish from micro-scratches.
For a more specialized cutting experience with a protective sheath, you might look at the Kuhn Rikon Melon Knife which is designed for precision manual cuts.
This tool serves as a compact solution for summer fruit service; find more similar items in the watermelon slicers and keepers collection.
