A tool (15) with pivoted handles (18 and 19) for operating jaws (16 and 17) provides a means for removing unwanted "eyes" (7) from pineapples (6) when such handles are squeezed to close the jaws around and under an eye (7a). A spring (11) exerts opening pressure on handles so as to open the jaws after each use. An anvil blade (16) on one jaw cooperates with an open loop cutter blade (17) on the other jaw. In one preferred embodiment the jaws meet so as to sever the pineapple's fibers, while in another preferred embodiment, the anvil blade passes through the loop jaw so as to push the eyes out after cutting.
