Adaptive chopping knife

What is an adaptive chopping knife?

An adaptive chopping knife has adaptations that make it much easier and safer to chop food.

A lightweight, ergonomic handle, non-slip grip, and a sharp blade mean it’s easier to grip and control the knife. It also helps keep your hand and wrist in a neutral, stress-free position when you're cutting.

This helps to reduce pain and stress when you're cutting. An adaptive kitchen knife can reduce pain while chopping and is helpful if you have a weak grip, wrist pain, or limited dexterity.
