They are fairly inexpensive and I cook with them a lot, all different kinds of squash. I have only ever had these tools, I use a skinny knife many times. It is a short industry as it is not really a holiday, but, kids like dressing up and going trick or treating. I went when I was a kid, buy my parents did not. It wasn't a real holiday like now.
Smoothies. I have never done that, but, roast, make soup, grill, stuff, and anything else I can think of. :) We love them in our family. Then, of course, the best part. Roasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled with spices or just kosher salt.
