I was gifted an avocado pitter after this incident, and highly recommend it, or just use spoon to pit. |
My friend did this but she severed tendons in her hand. She needed two surgeries to repair it. I stopped using a knife to pit avocados.
Now I either scoop the pit out with a spoon and scrape it clean of the flesh or if its soft enough, just gently squeeze the avocado half and the pit will pop out. |
