Could I cut a watermelon in half with this?

If you put a proper cutting edge on it, you would be able to cut a watermelon in half. Out of the box, it was amazingly sharp, but I'm uncertain if it would be possible to cut a watermelon in half. I know it did wonders on Willow Saplings.

Simply yes, They are sharp out of the box and can be sharpened more to cut through a watermelons. The real question is how many could it do before it warps the metal. I cut a watermelon and cantaloupe but didn't feel like wasting any more fruit. Blades feel OK in the hand I added a larger gauge paracable to mine. I'm not sure they could last a zombie apocalypse more then a few dozen decapitations. Another issue I had with these is the the sheath. I had to cut the opening so I could get the blades in and out quicker. Luckily I didn't have to go to far to get a knife ;). Great blades for the price you really can't beat it.

If you put work into it like I did (grinding, new handle material, sharpening) I would say yes, easily with the larger of the two. However, there are a lot of variables such as if you have done so before with other weapons, speed of the swing, weight behind the swing. All these align then you might be able to straight out of the box.

No. Although it may be a little long for your uses. You could easily cut it as well.

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

I have not tried to cut it but it is a hard plastic so it should be possible to cut it with a utility knife.

I have not tried it. The blade is small, so you would definitely want to cut up the pieces into small bits.

Its very sharp indeed, you can shave with this blade. And its sharp enough to go through a wooden fence. But it wont destroy the fence it just cuts into its grooves with disturbing the rest of the wood. Yes it can go through a watermelon.

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

No. The cutter cuts the bagel in half only. FYI, I used to have one but I returned it since it squished the big soft bagels (like the fresh ones from Costco).

Absolutely, just need the right bit. The question would be what would the depth of the cut be and is the blade long enough to cut through what you want. If it is close, may be cut from both sides??????

I think you could be careful and cut watermelon or any melons but pineapple would not. Soft fruit you might get by with. They are a more bending plastic than the old brittle ones I have that are 50 years old. There are all sizes and then varied sizes in some of the designs. I wanted the numbers and letters to press in frosting and then sparkles, sprinkles,etc to fill in the letters. I have metal cutters in my Centerpiece Gourmet set and they do cut anything. Hope this helps you. You have my curiosity up and will try when doing some fruit. Elaine in TEXAS!

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

Yes of course, you can use a small lime and it does not have to be big citrus. Its inner diameter is about 2.5 inch and if citrus is too big, you can always cut in half and use. Any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

I'm not sure if it's the size of your bowl but it will hold a medium watermelon cut in squares without the Rhine. I hope this helps. They are nice bowls.

I don't know why that wouldn't work. I personally wouldn't be able to cut it straight, but someone with cutting skills probably could do it easily.

Yes. If you cut the cabbage into quarters first, it should work well. I found that the holder isn't very helpful with some vegetables, though. Just watch your fingers. The blade is very sharp. It's ceramic, but it looks like plastic. So, its appearance is deceiving.

I would say no, if you are trying to slice a whole pineapple. It would be good for half or quarter. But the biggest issue is that it slices too thinly for pineapple. At least for my opinion. I typically slice pineapple at least 1/2" thick and this is nowhere near that. I'm thinking that pineapple sliced with this mandolin would have a tendency to fall apart. But that's just my opinion. Maybe next time I slice a pineapple, I'll give it a shot.
