I think you could be careful and cut watermelon or any melons but pineapple would not. Soft fruit you might get by with. They are a more bending plastic than the old brittle ones I have that are 50 years old. There are all sizes and then varied sizes in some of the designs. I wanted the numbers and letters to press in frosting and then sparkles, sprinkles,etc to fill in the letters. I have metal cutters in my Centerpiece Gourmet set and they do cut anything. Hope this helps you. You have my curiosity up and will try when doing some fruit. Elaine in TEXAS!

You could use them to cut fruit, but most of them are probably too big for a fruit-flower arrangement type thing.

Yes most pple use them for that that's y I bought then... You can glue then on like rienstones or encapsulate them w acrylic.. You just cut a really thin slice off.. It's kind of hard to cut super thin slices u will need a razor blade... They're super cute tho

Unsure if the same, but to the person who thought these weren't sharp, I have cut large suckers up to 1/2 in diameter with them, and am certain I could amputate my own finger in one simple motion with these. They are easy to use and make quick work of pruning.

My nephew is the one who received this. He used it for pears. He recommended another use it for grapefruit. I would think that peaches woukd be fine.

For a fruit to fit inside the head it can't be more than 4 3/4 inches in diameter and 8 1/2 inches in length. Small to medium papayas, probably yes, the largest ones I doubt would fit inside the head. Works great for mangos, peaches, pears, plums, oranges and other fruit of a similar size that are less than 5 inches in diameter.

I have used them in the past fo cutting 1 inch diagonals and for small pieces and they did just fine for me. At this price I keep some for my glass and some for other materials. Hope this helped.

I'm curious... did you end up using these for fruit snacks? I'm looking for something to make vitamins with gelatin and was wondering if it was difficult to get the snacks out of the tray. Thanks!

I have one and I just use the regular size that you get at the store. I have cut them in half if I felt they were too long or too fat though, and it works just fine that way. Also works good if you need to dice onions

Im not sure I havent tried to cut them. They ate not super big to be cutting. But they are right size for cleaning. They appear to me like they may fray a little.

I have been using mine for over a year, and they are still just as effective as they first were. I think if it were to break down, it would take so long, that the tree would have outgrown the tree ring by that time! You will probably have to remove it eventually, as the trunk circumference increases in size. I have them placed around young fruit trees. They are perfect for that use. If you need to weedwhack around them, you can get "protectors" for the base of the trunk, so you won't scar up the bark around the bottom, and kill the tree that way. If you should accidentally cut into the tender bark, you can use "Pruning sealer" on the wound, thereby "bandaging" its wound. You should get good use from these, and when the tree "outgrows" them, re-use them for more young trees.

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter.

Hi Leon, Yes, they are great for small snips like deadheading flowers. My wife uses them all the time in her flower garden. This is one of the great things about them that if you open the jaws slightly, like the size of a blossom stem, they do not engage the ratchet mechanism. And yet they can cut one inch branches. (That is pushing it a bit but I certainly have done many 1" branches.) The light weight makes them good for more delicate jobs as well. Thanks for asking! Paul Grimm

I have not used them for cut-up fruit and find that my strawberries will last for up to 2 weeks in these if I simply wash them and leave them intact, including the green little leaves at the top (in other words, do not hull them) until I am ready to use them

Sure，but u need cut these first. This is not enough for whole fruit one time. The only hard thing for me, just clean it after use.

I have found that the size of pineapples doesn't differ enough to matter. There will be some pineapple left on the shell, but much less than if you try to cut with a knife. The core, of course, is waste.

If its a perfect sphere, 4.5 inches. Since they never are, realistically about 4.25 inches, assuming that one halves the fruit. If you decide to quarter, then it depends on your knife skills.

They are too big to cut a cucumber.. They are like sandwich-bread sized not cucumber sized.
