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.
With an adjustable palm strap, a 10.9cm serrated stainless steel blade and a ribbed 10cm handle, the SectorCare Adaptive Knife helps people with little or no grip cut their own food at home, in aged care and through rehabilitation across Australia.
Do I need to grip the knife?
No. The adjustable strap holds the handle against the palm, so the knife stays in position with the fingers relaxed.
What kind of blade is it?
A 10.9 cm stainless steel blade, serrated along one edge with a rounded tip, so it cuts with a sawing action rather than downward force.
Does the strap come off?
Yes. The palm strap lifts off the handle completely for cleaning.
Will it fit my hand?
The hook and loop strap adjusts to the width of the palm and fits most adult hands.
Is there a matching fork and spoon?
Yes. The same handle and strap are available with fork and spoon heads, and the knife and fork are designed to be used together.
