What is included in the set?

Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull during carving
Clear any trapped pumpkin pulp or seeds from the teeth of the blade, as these can create friction and impede cutting performance.
Difficulty cutting through very hard skin
Score the surface of the pumpkin skin first with the tip of the tool to create a groove before attempting a full-depth cut.
Handle feeling slippery
Wipe the handle and your hands frequently with a dry cloth to maintain a secure grip, especially when working with wet, pulpy surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your pumpkin is clean and dry. Use a marker or stencil to outline your desired pattern on the outer skin. Always keep the tools clean of debris during use by periodically rinsing them if they become clogged with pumpkin pulp. After you finish carving, hand wash the tools with warm, soapy water. Do not submerge them in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the tool finish. Ensure each piece is completely dry before storing it in a cool, moisture-free environment to prevent rusting. These tools are compatible with most standard garden pumpkins and ornamental gourds.
