1. How to open a coconut with a knife
An uncomplicated method with some important nuances.
Take a coconut with one hand - its eyes (three brown circles on the side) should "look" towards the fingers or wrist.
With your other hand, squeeze a large, wide-bladed knife. If not, a regular hammer will do. Substitute a wide, deep bowl down.
Use the blunt side of the knife to beat off the coconut in the middle around the entire perimeter. While doing this, rotate the fruit in your hand.
Keep hitting until it splits in half.
The water inside the coconut will start pouring into the bowl at this point.
