Japan Shimomura Kougyou "Full Vege" Avocado Cutter
Master the art of the perfect avocado toast with the Full Vege Avocado Cutter from Shimomura Kougyou. Based in the metalworking capital of Seki/Sanjo, Japan, Shimomura Kougyou is renowned for creating specialized tools that solve specific kitchen challenges. Part of their "Full Vege" (フルベジ) series, this multi-functional tool is designed to safely handle every stage of avocado preparation—from slicing the skin to removing the pit and creating uniform segments—all with one compact device.
Key Features
3-in-1 Versatile Design — Combines a serrated blade for slicing the skin, a specialized "pitter" for safe stone removal, and a fanned slicer for creating perfect, café-style segments.
Serrated "Safe-Touch" Blade — The plastic serrated edge is sharp enough to glide through tough avocado skin but far safer than a stainless steel chef's knife, significantly reducing the risk of "avocado hand" injuries.
Precision Pitter — Features a unique three-pronged or circular "gripper" in the center of the tool. With a simple twist, it securely grabs the pit and lifts it out cleanly without damaging the surrounding fruit.
Uniform Fan Slicer — The slotted end of the tool is curved to match the natural shape of the avocado. By pulling it through the flesh, you create perfectly even slices that are ready for salads, sushi, or garnishing.
Ergonomic "Comfort-Grip" Handle — Designed for a steady, non-slip hold even when your hands are damp. The lightweight resin construction provides excellent control for delicate maneuvers.
Durable & Hygienic Resin — Crafted from high-quality, BPA-free polypropylene and reinforced nylon. It is non-porous, resists fruit acids, and won't brown or oxidize the avocado flesh like some metal tools.
Space-Saving Profile — Replaces three separate tools with one slim device that fits easily into any kitchen drawer or utensil crock.

Usage & Care
Split: Use the serrated edge to slice the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit.

Slice: Position the fan slicer at the top of the avocado half and pull it through the flesh toward the bottom.
