Cut Your Own Meal With a Knife Held by the Hand, Not the Fingers

20.9cm overall · 10.9cm serrated blade · 10cm handle · rounded tip · removable palm strap · 0.1kg

Cutting is usually the first thing handed over to someone else. It takes more force than lifting a spoon and more control than holding a fork, so a meal often arrives already cut up, which is a small loss of independence repeated three times a day. This knife is built to hand that job back. An adjustable strap runs across the back of the hand and holds the handle against the palm, so the knife stays in position while the fingers stay relaxed, and the force comes from the arm rather than from a grip.

The blade is 10.9cm of stainless steel, serrated along one edge so it works through meat and vegetables without needing heavy downward pressure, and rounded at the tip. The handle is 10cm of ribbed non slip moulding, the same one used across this range, and the palm strap lifts off completely for washing or for swapping between utensils. At 0.1kg the knife is light enough to use for a whole meal without tiring the arm.
