A pumpkin carving tool has a knife nested within the handle of a scoop. The knife and scoop together serve as the only tools necessary to carve a simple or complex pattern into a pumpkin. The handle extends under the bowl of the scoop and has a hollow interior. The knife has a handle and blade and the dimensions of the handle closely approximate the interior dimensions of the handle. In this way, the knife is securely retained within the handle until removed by the handle. By providing a knife nested within the scoop, a user has all utensils needed to carve a pumpkin or similar item in a convenient, compact configuration.
