Norpro Twin Blade Grapefruit Knife, Rosewood Handle

A grapefruit half is a pleasure to eat once the sections are loose, and this Norpro knife frees them in two steps. First, run the curved blade around the inside of the rind; it is serrated on both sides, so it cuts in either direction. Then flip the knife and press the twin blades at the other end down each membrane to lift the sections out.

The curved blade follows the shape of the fruit, so it cuts close to the rind without piercing it, and the twin blades slide down along each membrane. Because both edges are serrated, the knife works equally well in a right or a left hand. The handle is rosewood.

The same knife sections oranges for a fruit salad. For juicing citrus, see the Norpro glass citrus juicer and the wood citrus reamer. The Core It tomato corer is another small tool that saves time at breakfast prep.
