Summer is filled with delicious in-season produce like strawberries, tomatoes, and peaches, but watermelon may take the cake for the ultimate summertime staple. The refreshing, sweet, and juicy fruit is satisfying on its own, but incorporating watermelon in margaritas, salads, and sorbet is essential, too. The one drawback of watermelon? Cutting its large, stubborn rind and then slicing or cubing the fruit can be challenging. Luckily, we found a two-in-one tool that can cube watermelon in seconds.

Not only is the cutter sturdy enough to slice through watermelon, but it’s also corrosion- and rust-resistant to maintain its quality over time. Thanks to its slim, two-in-one design, the cutter keeps the juices inside the watermelon and not on your countertops—unlike incessant cutting or scooping with a chef’s knife, spoon, or melon baller. Just note that you’ll still need to cut the melon in half with a knife before using the tool. And since the set is compact and lightweight, you can simply pack the watermelon cutters in a beach bag, cooler, or picnic basket, so you can enjoy the fruit no matter where you travel this summer
Shoppers love that the watermelon cutter is quick and simple to use—one reviewer even said it “cuts watermelon like a dream.” Another wrote, “It works perfectly. [It’s] fast, easy, and cuts perfect squares.”
