The best way is to hold the coconut in one hand and look for the natural seam that runs between the two eyes at the top. Using a large knife or cleaver use the back of the knife to tap firmly round the seam. You may have to do this a few times but in the end the coconut will split into two halves. You can then ease the coconut flesh out of the shell using a sharp knife and chop or grate ready for use.
