The extra-long blade can penetrate deep into large items or cut across their entire width.The blade is relatively wide for downward pressure and control.Usually has slight curvature to facilitate a slight sawing motion.The handle must be robust to withstand significant force.Heavier weight uses inertia to aid splitting tough rinds.

Blade length typically 25-35 cm(10-14 inches),overall up to 40-50 cm.Blade height moderate(6-8 cm)but often thicker than a chef's knife for rigidity.Steel needs good toughness to prevent bending/breaking on hard items.Handle often a through-tang construction for strength.

Primarily for splitting whole watermelons,honeydews,pumpkins,winter melons,pineapples.Also for halving or quartering large cabbages/Napa cabbages,or cutting large blocks of cheese or partially thawed meat into portions.A specialized,less frequently used but essential tool for households,cafeterias,or restaurant kitchens handling bulk/large produce.
