What do you blog about when your stepson has come to live with you and you won't be talking about your Vegetable Bowl with Quinoa? Your children drinking coconut water out of coconuts of course.
This is a handy gadget called a Pipe Knife or Coconut Pipe Knife. You push the sharp edge into the coconut and pull out and Voila! you have a straw-size hole.
My friend Scott of Raw Denver got it at an Asian Market in Denver. I tried searching the internet for places to buy it with no luck. If any one out there has any information about it let me know.

That's the same exact thing as is on eBay for twice the price:

Good find!
I bought mine in a local Asian market for about five bucks. It's similar.

CocoTap is another name, although it seems to be listed at $35, which is way more than the $5 tool some of you have bought.
COCOTAP is a very very strong quality SS tool which can penetrate any age coconut,
The Thai ones (sculptured tender coconuts) are easy by comparisom to more mature coconuts with the full husk on. Its more of a survival tool than can also dehusk coconuts, and can be used up a coconut tree instead of climbing with a machete check it out
