Cuts like a knife...
Many years ago, I took a cheap serrated blade steak knife and used it for cutting watermelon. To accomplish this, I curved the blade. The plastic handle cracked last month. I when shopping for a replacement at the dollar store... where things are $1.25 now.Times change and the steak knives they now carry, have a straight edge. No problem, so I bought two. I opened one package, washed it and was amazed at the quality of the knife.
Stainless steel with a moulded handle. It cuts much better than the other steak knives and I plan to go back and get a few more.
It cuts like a knife, but it feels so right!
The old knife served me well...

The photo was from a seedless melon.
We have some local growers who have the longer melons with seeds.
They often have better flavor!
How do you get a square watermelon?

What kind of test is this? Factual or just having a laugh?

Yes, I first saw it was Japanese farmers/gardeners who started the procedure of growing square watermelons. They created a metal cage to restrict the growth of the watermelons into the square shape, but the problem with the original cage was the bars would leave impressions on the outside.
That process changed to thick wall plastic cages and the result was smooth sides with rounded corners!
