       FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0005]    This invention relates to tools used to cut produce in particular avocados and mangos. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    Traditional straight blade knives take a remarkable amount of time to cut avocadoes and mangos inefficiently. The claimed invention resolves that difficulty by providing a unique cutting wire instead of a traditional blade. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    The present invention includes methods, systems, and other means for A hand tool for removing meat from produce, comprising a handle, having an egg shape, further comprising a first hole and a second hole. There is a wire loop immediately adjacent to the first hole and second hole. The wire loop is malleable and can be easily manipulated by hand.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0015]    Embodiments of the present invention overcome many of the obstacles associated with separating the meat of produce from the skin, rind or shell, and now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings that show some, but not all embodiments of the claimed inventions. Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. 
         [0016]      FIG. 1  shows the invention in use a user has a first hand  28 , a second hand  28 , and desires to remove the meat from produce, shown here as avocado  30 , with hand tool  10 . The user can do this by holding handle  16  in first hand  28 , holding avocado  30  in second hand  28  and scooping the meat from avocado  30  with wire loop  14 . 
         [0017]    After slicing avocado  30  into halves, the user should hold one half in the palm of first hand  28  wide end up. The user can then hold wire loop  14  up to the avocado half. Using the thumb and forefinger of second hand  28  the user should squeeze wire loop  14  together until it is the shape of the half of avocado  30 . The user can then place the top of wire loop  14  at the top of avocado  30  between the meat and the skin. With a gentle scooping motion the user should slide the wire loop  14  along the contour of the skin separating the skin from the meat. The meat of avocado  30  can be left in the skin shell with the seed to retain its freshness if it is not fully used. 
         [0018]      FIG. 2  shows a perspective view of the invention. As noted above hand tool  10  comprises handle  16  mechanically coupled to wire loop  14  at first hole  18  and second hole  18 . The shape of the handle is preferably the shape of an egg but can take any other shape such as round or oval. The egg shape is designed to fit comfortably in the palm. The material for the handle can be but not limited to wood, plastic, metal or any other suitable material. 
         [0019]      FIG. 3  shows a section view of hand tool  10 . Handle  16  comprises first hole  18  and second hole  18 . To make the device a manufacturer mechanically couples wire loop  14  into first hole  18  and second hole  18 . As shown here, wire loop  14  terminates and is permanently fixed in handle  16 . 
         [0020]    Wire loop  14  can be formed from any wire but preferably, but not limited to a tempered stainless steel wire as long is wire loop  14  has sufficient tensile strength to scoop the meat of produce from the skin rind or shell. The length of the wire is approximately (but not necessarily) between  4 - 18  inches long. Handle  16  is preferably (but not necessarily) between 1-5 inches long and is more preferably about 2 inches in length and approximately (but not necessarily) between 1-3 inches wide but more preferably 1½ inch wide. Wire loop  14  is mechanically coupled to handle  16  using any known fasteners such as epoxy, adhesives, screws and/or bolts. Wire loop  14  can be mechanically coupled to the handle by inserting each end into two holes located in the top of the handle and then held in place by epoxy, adhesives, screws and/or bolts. 
         [0021]      FIG. 4  shows alternate hand tool  12 . Alternate hand tool  12  comprises handle  20 , which further comprises first hole  22  and second hole  22 . Wire loop  22  travels through handle  20  and is immediately adjacent to handle  20 , but wire  22  is not mechanically coupled to handle  20 . Wire loop  22  is immediately adjacent to but not mechanically coupled to adjustment knob  26 . Similar to wire loop  14 , wire loop  24  can be formed from any wire but preferably, but not limited to a tempered stainless steel wire. The length of the wire is approximately (but not necessarily) between 4-24 inches long. 
         [0022]      FIG. 5  shows a section view of alternate hand tool  12 . As noted above, handle  20  comprises first hole  22  and second hole  22  which both run the length of handle  22 . Handle  16  is preferably (but not necessarily) between 1-5 inches long and is more preferably about 2 inches in length and approximately (but not necessarily) between 1-3 inches wide but more preferably 1½ inch wide. 
         [0023]      FIG. 6  shows a section view of alternate handle tool  12 . A user can hold adjustment knob  26  and slide handle  20  as shown adjust the wire loop diameter and to peel and clean various fruits and vegetables such as kiwis, melons, mangos, peppers and avocados.
