I bought the knife with the 2 spoons and the combination makes eating grapefruit even more of a treat than before. It is so easy to cut between the sections without the juice spraying all over the place. Typical Henckel quality all around!!

Grapefruit is actually very easy to slice up even with just a regular straight knife. The problem is since the grapefruit is round, using a regular knife makes it practically impossible to make a perfect cut thus getting as much of the fruit with the cut as possible. I usually just squeeze the rind really hard to extract as much of the juice as possible from the small amount of edible fruit left after cutting. It works well enough. Then I came across the Henckels knife while browsing the 4 for 3 promotion on Amazon. They wound up being even better than I expected. If you eat your fair share of grapefruit than this knife is indispensable. Its curved blade allows you to get as much of the fruit as possible. No more squeezing the rind for me. The fact that it was so cheap is just an added bonus as I would easily have paid double the price.

The bottom line - If your a big grapefruit fan then this knife should have a place in your kitchen. I know a lot of people that eat less fruit than they would like to eat simply because they dont like cutting it up. With tools like this on the market, there should be a lot more people eating fresh fruit as it really does make the chore of cutting it up much much easier. The Henckles Grapefruit knife is simply a must buy for any grapefruit lover!

5 Stars!

this knife is very nice...much better than the one handed to me down from 50 years ago. nice handle and the curve seems to work so much better

This knife does a fairly good job of sectioning grapefruit, but the fruit gets kind of hacked up. The shape makes it awkward to use. I'm sorry I threw away my very old one when I was told I couldn't eat grapefruit any longer, as it worked perfectly. (Pravastatin allows grapefruit in my diet...thought this might help someone.)
