https://www.amazon.com/Coconut-Tool-Stainless-Steel-Removal/dp/B006OCS5ZUSince it's cold out, the coconuts that I have are getting the concrete floor (on porch) after being drained through the third eyelet. There exists three small indents on the top of the coconut, yet only one is easily penetrable. This hole represents the very location the sprout first makes it's appearance.
I just palm it in my right hand and quickly smash using a velocity and force determined prior, using other coconuts.
You can then keep tapping (fastest way) to create small enough pieces (about ¹⁄₈ coconut) to represent a one‐pry piece: a piece of coconut and shell that can be spoon‐pried quickly and easily. If examine your spoons you will notice they all have different radii of curvature (unless, of course, you're one of those people)—this matters! You want to be using a spoon having a curvature matching the curvature of the coconut you are de‐shelling.
Chuck Norris just looks at it the damn thing; the shell spontaneously combusts leaving a one‐piece inner coconut with slightly‐charred exterior which he feeds half to his dog—not because he's particularly magnanimous, but because he eats other people's souls (to save room).But in the demo you posted, I had recognized that coconut cutting tool. If you look for Vietnamese grocery stores in your area, I think you'd be able to find one. All Vietnamese grocery stores in Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin have the same kitchen items (which I assume they all order from the same catalogue, or but from the same distrubutor who is selling them crates of young coconuts, dragonfruit, durian, rambutan, persimmon, and toasted seaweed snacks.) I do have one specialized coconut tool, personally, which reminds me of a french nail and could ostensibly be used as such (this makes opening coconut with it a veritable training exercise for trench warfare).
But if you force with any tool between the shell and the peel, it should separate with no problem as long as you have pieces that aren't curved enough to oppose the movement as you lift a tip.

That opening tool tends to rust where they decided to mark with patent number/brand, right? They should start stamping those parts instead..
It looks to me like giant needles.
