Adaptive knife on cutting board with sliced limes

We placed a handle along the back of the knife blade to allow forearm leverage as opposed to using the wrist. A traditional, wider handle is added to blade to accommodate those needing wider grips.

The body of the handle uses a tessellated PLA form to reduce the amount of resin necessary as well as to add structural stability to the handle.

The use of resin over a 3D-form creates a clean, non-porous surface that will last as long as the blade.

This is a custom device. If you are interested in ordering the Adaptive Knife, please use our device request form and let us know what type of blade you are interested in.
