Will this knife cut through pineapple?

This knife will cut through just about anything, except maybe bone. Keep it sharp with an Asian knife sharpener, and it will be your friend for many years.

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

Hi. The blade is thin but certainly not as sharp as a knife. I think it would be good for things such as carrots, avocados, and asparagus. It would not be good for things like potatoes. I hope that helps.

If I encounter the need for more strength than I can muster when removing the pineapple slices, I cut down one side with a knife. This allows more wiggle room to remove the corer.

No, I have never tried that. I do think it would cut through meat as the blade is very heavy and sharp.

Yes, foam board is soft enough for the hot knife to cut through easily. Just make sure the foam board is not too thick (about 1 cm is the max thickness due to the short blade).

I just measured mine and it is 1 3/4" from the center. A 3" blade would take a really LARGE pineapple.

I would say no, if you are trying to slice a whole pineapple. It would be good for half or quarter. But the biggest issue is that it slices too thinly for pineapple. At least for my opinion. I typically slice pineapple at least 1/2" thick and this is nowhere near that. I'm thinking that pineapple sliced with this mandolin would have a tendency to fall apart. But that's just my opinion. Maybe next time I slice a pineapple, I'll give it a shot.

No, it's a bread knife. You should use a smooth blade (like a chef's knife) to cut vegetables.

No. It's not large enough for even a small pineapple. Plus I don't think the blade could handle it. We use this:All Ware Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer and De-Corer

We used this a lot when we first got it and haven't used it much this year. I remember that it still works but doesn't always put out perfect cuts. However, this could be a result of me waiting too long to cut the pineapple. Basically, the pineapples may have been too ripe. I hope this helps.

I have had mine for many years and it still works like a charm. After I am almost to the bottom of the pineapple, I pull the slicer up a bit and then cut the bottom of the pineapple off. I have always washed mine by hand. And while I don't use it everyday, it gets used at least once a month.

We have cut through aluminum cans and 2 liter bottles. Different types of fruit, haven't tried a watermelon yet but I'm sure it will cut straight through it. It's a great sword and it is full tang, this sword will not break at the hilt the blade was made all the way down through the hilt. It's great I hit concrete on accident and it only put 3 little tiny nicks in the blade.

Hi Barney, thanks for your question. Though our peeler can tackle many projects, a pineapple is probably not a good one to try. The skin on a pineapple is likely far too thick for either of the blades to cut through.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

I used it to chop down an apple tree, so a coconut (or durian) should be no problem. Just beware the sharpness, and be sure to stabilize the coconut so that it doesn't roll.

You don't want to use a blade like this for watermelon. It is designed for fine-slicing meats. For watermelon I would recommend a heavier blade such as a Dexter-Russell machete-style. For watermelon it would be a waste of money to buy a high quality knife when a heavy, more brittle steel blade works better.
