I have a plastic Australian gizmo for pineapples.

It has a peg that goes into the centre of the end of the pineapple, 
and two blades.  The central blade is fixed and cuts a one inch 
diameter core.  The outer blade cuts off the skin.  The outer blade
can be moved and has a plastic wing to keep it on track.

Put the peg in, adjust the outer blade, turn the gizmo once, then
with a knife cut off a 3/4 inch slice of pineapple, ready skinned 
and cored.  Rinse and repeat.

For a very low price an extremely simple and elegant hand tool.
