Here are two techniques for cutting mangos. The first one takes longer but is what I usually do when I serve it with a fork (less messy). The second method is much faster but be prepared with dental floss and damp napkins because the fruit fiber gets stuck in teeth and the fruit could be sticky.

There is a large flat seed in the fruit. Turn the fruit on the side that looks the longest and thinnest. |
|
Cut along the flat side of the seed |
|
Cut along the other side |
|
Cut along the curved edge of the seed |
|
Try to cut as much fruit as possible off of the seed |
|
Cut the larger portions into thirds |
|
Slide knife along the skin to remove fruit. Don't worry about getting close to the fruit's skin |
|
Press down on one edge of the piece and slice the blade across to get more mango |
|
Flip piece around and get the other end

Second method:
Score the pieces of fruit without
cutting all the way through,
then invert the pieces to push out
the fruit to bite into
