How do you open a watermelon?

Question

I've just got a watermelon but being welsh I'm not used to exotic fruit. I've googled it but I'm confused so as usual I'm going to rely on you lot. How do you open a watermelon?

Just a big knife, cutting the melon in two, then continue in quarters to get something like shown in A, without the show though ;0)

Technique in example E is incredibly artistic. A is big show moment, but with a very practical result. F is precisely what you should never do (hitting the table). C and D seem more like amusing and funny torturing methods ;0)

I just use a knife - a big Swiss-made butcher knife. The only question is how I cut it - if I'm eating it myself vs. if I'm cutting up the whole thing for a party. Watermelon is definitely NOT exotic in California - they are grown in farms less than 5 miles from me, and when I was a kid we grew our own in our backyard.

I've muredered water melons by smashing them on a surface, knife and with my legs. I have not yet been arrested for these crimes.

I let my german shepherd have at it. He’d roll it around singing to it while biting it. That and pumpkins. Then all the horses would smell it and come for some.

Never seen the gadget before. But I do like it.  I use a butcher’s knife to cut mine. But things just don’t look the same for me. The way they did for the younger woman 👩 !

I give it to the neighbour to chop up for me. She really loves the stuff and is an absolute ninja in cutting it into chunks, with a fillet knife.
