Depending on the thickness of the string or rope involved, using a pin, screwdriver, sharp scissors, or marlin spike is the way to go. Stick it under one strand and pry or pull it open. If you put the knot on a hard surface and hit it a few times with something heavy, this will open up some space to insert the tool.

After that, it will unravel pretty quickly -be careful that you do not lose the interior block, as you will want it for the next Monkey's Fist you tie.
