INSTRUCTIONS:

Slice the avocado lengthwise until you feel the knife hit the pit.
Turn the avocado on its side and spin it while continuing to cut it in half with the knife.
Twist the two halves to separate them once the avocado is completely cut down the center.
Carefully hit the pit with your knife to remove it.
Rotate the pit until it loosens and lift up.
Remove the pit from the knife by pressing on it from the unsharpened side with your thumb and pointer finger until it dislodges.

Classic Method

From this point you can either cut the avocado into slices or cubes. (You'll want to be extremely careful when doing this so your knife does not slip and cut through the avocado's skin.)
For slices, use a smaller paring knife to cut thin slices of avocado.
For cubes, cut slightly thicker strips, about 1/2-inch wide. Rotate the avocado 90-degrees and cut additional 1/2-inch wide slices.
Once your slices/cubes are done, simply scoop them out using a large spoon.

Alternative Method
Once the avocado is cut in half and the pit is removed, cut each halve in half lengthwise.
Remove and discard the skin from each quarter.
Place the avocado cut-side down on a cutting board and either thinly slice it or dice it.
