With the 2013 Watermelon Carving Contest just underway, I thought a cutting board and watermelon knife would be a good choice for the first of four weekly prizes given away here on the blog throughout National Watermelon Month.<\/p>\n<p>The set is from the good folks at <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/store.dexas.com\/kitchen\/\">Dexas<\/span>, who make all sorts of bright and colorful kitchen accessories. We\u2019ve given away the Dexas cutting board and knife in the past, but this board and knife are new-and-improved. The board is slightly smaller than the previous version, which makes it nice for people (like me) with limited countertop space.<\/p>\n<p>The knife is also different. While the old watermelon knife had a green handle and a red blade, this new model takes the theme a step further with a very cool watermelon color scheme on the blade.<\/p>\n<p>The team at Dexas sent me the new board and knife to test in The Watermelon Guy kitchen and it works fantastically. Even if you\u2019re not carving something fancy for this year\u2019s contest, this set will come in handy for everyday watermelon slicing and dicing.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose one comment at random from all the comments left on the blog this month to receive this prize. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing I\u2019ve learned in my relatively short career as a watermelon carver is that you can\u2019t carve a watermelon without a good knife and cutting board.
