Whats the best tool to use to cut a face in a pumpkin? Using a steak knife without success, HELP!!!?!
Please, don't listen to Fasteddy, a female with a power tool, I think not, disaster can only follow.
Actually, I'm not that happy with you lot walking around with a steak knife either.
Use a pallet knife or just stare at it, it'll soon conform!!!
Only kidding, before you look out even bigger knives!!
Err, happy Halloween.......;-)

pairing knife, works
BLOWTORCH
a pumpkin saw
Cant beat a good old Stanly knife, but remember, be careful!
I actually have always used exacto knives, it usually takes the bigger, longer, blades. I'm an artist so when I do pumpkins I REALLY do pumpkins and I need the precision of the exacto.
a steak knife is for cutting meat, try using a pearing knife.
A long thin knife , like the kind you filet fish with, but sharp enough to easily cut carrots.
You can buy special pumpkin carving knifes at a hardware store.
a steak knife will work if you use a sawing motion..not ment to just be drug...
I have used an electric jig saw very easy and accurate .
Nip down to your local supermarket they sell pumpkin kits for a few £s and they are a god send.
If you cant do that try a
blade from a saw or a small chisel
Paring/vegetable knife
Spoon
Good luck and hope your having lots of fun x
Pumpkin carving tools are best, but if you are in a hurry and want to improvise...try a jigsaw (if you're good with power tools) and if not that, you can try a paring knife.
a pairing knife darling, but be sure when you do it, use it like a saw downward slowly until you reach the pattern edge.Then roll the pumpkin then cut again by sawing style. Hope you get me what i mean. good luck
