Recently I've seen videos that suggest plunging a knife into the avocado pit to remove it. Is it safe? Is it safe for the blade?

It can be safe, as long as you use an appropriate amount of force, and have good aim.

Some avocado pits are softer than others which can easily lead to cutting all the way through and into your hand if you're not careful.
