For anyone else considering the seasonal pursuit of carving a pumpkin and spending time looking through dollar store toolkits or scrolling through dozens of identical crappy plastic tool sets in attractive clamshell zip cases on Amazon, let me save you some time.

The magic term you want is "drywall saw".

(If you're one of those maniacs who uses high speed rotary tools on your gourds, disregard my words. I have no wisdom for you.)

@gnomon I just saw this at the perfect time because i’m going to a pumpkin carving party today
@b0rk oooh I hope you can post your pumpkins when they're ready!!
@gnomon the drywall saw was great
@b0rk @gnomon lol is that a recursive pumpkin?
@nelson @gnomon i guess so though the person who made it isn’t a programmer so probably wouldn’t describe it that way :)
