  • Patent number: 8061746
    Abstract: A mango fruit holder consists of a sharpened pair of tines extending from a grip handle. A pommel is located in the handle at the end opposite the tines, with a pair of tangs extending from and forming part of the tines through the handle into abutment with the pommel. Impact blows directed against the pommel are thereby efficiently transmitted through the tangs to the sharpened tines, assisting the penetration of the hardened mango seed by the tines. By temporarily anchoring the tines within the mango seed a user is able to use the handle to hold the mango while peeling and removing the edible mango flesh.
