If you partly cut into a mellon then roll that mellon forward some and continue cutting the mellon unless it's really ripe usually holds together until the cut you made goes mostly around the mellon getting a stable cutting area that doesn't suddenly collapse on you and making your knife do unpredictible things. I found use of a serated knife most effective for cutting mellons too.
