A grapefruit knife has a curved and serrated blade for cutting and sectioning grapefruit. It is smaller than a steak knife but larger than a paring knife and can be bought with grapefruit spoons. Other grapefruit tools include a corer and they can be purchased in sets or separately.
A grapefruit knife is a special gadget designed specifically for slicing grapefruit. A grapefruit knife has a curved blade, making it ideal for cutting round fruit. The serrated edge of a grapefruit knife makes it easy to cut and section the grapefruit. Most grapefruit knives have double blades, but some are single.
The double bladed grapefruit knife has a smooth, curved blade at one end and a serrated blade at the other. The curved blade is designed to separate the rind from the fruit. A single-bladed grapefruit knife may have a curved edge on one side of the blade and a serrated blade on the other, or it may be serrated on both sides. The double bladed grapefruit knife has a handle in the middle and the user simply flips the knife to use both sides.
A grapefruit knife is smaller than steak knives, but typically has a longer blade than a paring knife. The curved edge of a grapefruit knife is what sets it apart from the paring knife and is designed to keep the juices from splashing off the fruit when cutting. It’s not uncommon to find grapefruit knives sold in a set with grapefruit spoons, which are smaller than average spoons with serrated tips designed to scoop pieces of fruit out of each grapefruit section.
Other kitchen tools designed specifically for grapefruit include a corer. This tool has a handle with a hollowed out end similar to the sections of a grapefruit. A grapefruit knife, soul, and spoons are not only useful for cutting, sectioning, and scooping grapefruits, but other citrus fruits, such as oranges, as well.
Grapefruit utensils can be purchased anywhere other kitchen tools and gadgets are sold. Prices vary depending on the material used to construct the blades and handles, as well as whether the tools are purchased separately or in a set.
