Definición y Significado de "grapefruit knife"

What is a "grapefruit knife"?

A grapefruit knife is a specialized utensil designed for cutting and serving grapefruits and other citrus fruits. It typically features a long, slender blade with a curved or serrated edge and a pointed tip, attached to a handle. The blade is specifically designed to navigate the tough rind and membranes of grapefruits, allowing for easy and precise cutting of the fruit segments. Some grapefruit knives may also have a double-sided blade, with one serrated edge for cutting through the fruit's flesh and another curved edge for separating the segments from the membrane. Additionally, grapefruit knives may have a blunt or rounded tip to help prevent accidental punctures or injuries while cutting.
