My Beloved had decided to make me a knife for Christmas. He had picked out two sets of scales for the handle and asked me which I liked the best. Then he asked me what type of knife I wished. I told him that I wanted a knife that I could use on pumpkins. Not a cleaver but a big knife. I needed something with a good tip to get through the rind on the first cut. Last year, we grew thirty pumpkins and I damaged knives cutting those all up for canning.
Then, we rewatched the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We both really liked Aragon's knife.
This is my PumpkinKiller!
It is close to Aragon's but not the same.
And see what a beautiful handle it has?
It just makes me smile. Pumpkins, here I come!
