Abstract: A fruit knife has a handle, and a blade connected with the handle and having a plurality of throughgoing apertures. This permits the juice produced during movement of the blade through the fruit to flow through the apertures and thereby prevents spurting of the juice. The apertures may be spaced from one another in the direction of elongation of the elongated blade and uniformly distributed on the latter. The apertures may be arranged in rows spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation of the blade. The apertures of one row may be offset relative to the apertures of the adjacent row in the direction of elongation of the blade. The blade may have forked end. An intermediate spoon-like portion may be provided between the forked end and the remainder of the knife blade.
