Love this thing!
I will start by saying that this is my second melon slicer of this kind.  The first one was far more inferior than this one, and did not have anything covering the sharp edges where you hold it.  The metal slicing bar also came off the second time I used it, which is why I decided to get another one to try.<br /><br />So far, this one is so much better than the last one I had, and the melon carver was a great little bonus.  The silicone covering on the handle area is very comfortable and does not cut into me while I am slicing the melon.  I am not sure how well the slicing bar is attached, but it seems to be more secure than my previous one.<br /><br />I grew up on a watermelon farm in Texas, and  I really don't know how we ever lived without these before. They really are ingenious little gadgets. If you eat a lot of melon, this is a definite must have<br /><br />*Disclaimer* I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
