I tried the ZP Pro Pumpkin Carving Tool out tonight, carved Stripe. I like them much better than the kit tools.
The smaller blades remind me of the fine saw that pumpkin masters had years ago. That size hasn't been available for years.
I compared some new out of the package PM tools and these pro tools were far superior. They cut faster and easier and didn't bend or come loose in the handle. I also like the pointed blade as opposed to the blunt blade on the PM (and other brand) tools I've tried. These blades are also a bit sharper than the PM blades.
I did notice some discoloration on the blades, probably from the acid in the pumpkin. I don't know if that will effect long term performance.
I'll wait on my final opinion until after Halloween is over and we've carved 100 or more pumpkins, but for now I think these blades beat anything else I've ever used.
