Oh fergoshsakes - always use a very sharp knife. Cut in single motion from stem to other end and back to the stem again, around the pit. Twist the halves and remove one to expose the pit. Lightly ‘hack’ the knife edge into the center of the pit and twist - the pit pops right out. Leave two perfectly clean halves for making slices, or easy scooping.
That is the way I always do it. I can’t imagine someone trying to stab the avocado with the point. You are almost begging someone for a ride to the ER.

This is the way I learned to do it working in a mexican restaurant. Don’t spear the damned pit, you’re just asking for trouble that way. Hack it!
Your local ER doctors are the ones leaving those pamphlets in the “whole foods” store advising you to spear an avocado pit. Who does that? Only possessed people.
Exactly. Been doing that ways since I was 8. My mom taught me how to make Guac.
That’s how I do it.
Who uses a fencing thrust on an avocado pit?
Cook and prepare food now, drink later!
Yah, I’ve been doing it that way for 40+ years. Seriously, someone gets a cut from removing a pit from a sharp knife? How incompetent are you?
If drunk, stay away from ALLLLLL sharp objects.
That’s the ticket!
