Good Grips Cutlery
Rocker Knife - Weighted
Product Details
The Good Grips Cutlery is designed specifically for those with neurological impairments or arthritis.
The cushioned broad handles feature flexible ribbing, enabling a secure grip even when wet.
A twist in the shaft allows the head to be set at an angle when required.
Made from stainless steel with latex-free rubber handles, each item of Good Grips Cutlery is available with weighted or unweighted handles.
The blade of the knife requires minimal arm strength, making cutting a simple task.
This cutlery is suitable for those with arthritis or others whose disability makes conventional cutlery hard to control.
A traditional Starter or Assessment Kit contains a Set of 5 utensils (either weighted or unweighted) which is made up of a rocker knife, fork, dessert spoon, teaspoon and a soup spoon. Alternatively, there's a Set of 6 of the non weighted cutlery that adds the Serrated Rocker Knife.
The special edge of the Serrated Rocker Knife provides added stability while cutting, including meat.
The Souper Spoon with raised lip is ideal for people with tremors, poor hand control, arthritis, stroke, or Parkinson's disease. The innovative lip is specially designed to keep liquids and food on the spoon while moving from the plate to the mouth.
Please Note: Good Grips Cutlery is re-branding to Big-Grip so you may receive a mix of brand-names but please be assured that they are the same product. And we think Good Grips is the better name!
Key User Benefits
- The Good Grips Cutlery range provides a cushioned grip that helps to keep each utensil in your hand - even when your hand or the cutlery is wet.
- The forks and spoons have a special twist built into the metal shaft that allows them to be bent to any angle, for either left or right-handed use. This is a great solution for persons with limited hand-to-mouth reach. Persons with hand arthritis, neurological impairments or generalized weakness will find these utensils comfortable, less stressful to hold and easily adaptable.
- The weighted cutlery is often found to be easier to control by those who find standard cutlery difficult to use. The 6 oz. (170g) of added weight in the built-up handle provides more control so that the utensil reaches the mouth easier. Ideal for people with limited hand control, Parkinson's disease or tremors.
- Latex-free and dishwasher safe.

Serrated Rocker Knife
Review by Ringwood G Posted on 24/10/2024Bought for my mother who is approaching 102 years of age. Her hand grip is not good and the thicker handle for this knife is a great help. The rocking action required with this knife makes life easier for her.
