I have this watermelon that I needed to cut up so I figured the DFLE would be a good knife to use since I didn't have a kitchen knife that big. It did a real good job, even though there are probaby better kitchen knives more suitable for the job. The real thick blade really did a great job of splitting the melon open while cutting it. Overall its a great watermelon cutting knife....would definitly use it again on a large melon.
