A good resource for "tools" for slitting eggs is a disection kit. I use the tweezers to pinch a piece of egg to make the initial cut and then cut upward, not in, just like the previous poster mentioned. (after the first one pips of course).

They also make several kinds of disection scissors that are helpful, blunt nose and so forth, that help to avoid issues when cutting.

My 2 cents.
