1. Place the watermelon on its side and slice away the top and the bottom.
2. Stand the melon upright and halve it from top to bottom. Depending on how large the watermelon is, you may find it easier to complete one side first and then the other.
3. Cut each half into equal lengthwise sections.
4. Run the knife between the rind and the flesh from end to end.
5. Slice downward to the rind in equal segments, forming slices of your desired thickness.
6. Continue cutting if needed to produce chunks or bite-sized pieces.
