It can be opened by breaking it with your hand or cutting it with a knife.

A crack on the top of the durian indicates that the durian is ripe, and it is also easy to open the durian in this state. If the gap between the cracks in the durian shell is large, we can directly use our hands to break it in the opposite direction with force to take out the pulp.

If the gap in the durian shell crack is too small for both hands to exert force, then we can use tools to cut down 8cm along the gap with a knife or make a circle along the grain, and then break it open with our hands. Because the durian is already ripe, the shell is easy to crack. We have to prepare a pair of thick gloves when breaking the shell of the durian, the durian shell of the thorns are hard, in order to prevent the hands from being injured.

If the durian you buy is not too ripe and has no cracks. You can leave it for a few days and wait for the durian to open naturally, then open the durian as above.
