Carpenter tool or a less useful pizza cutter? Introducing the rocker knife!
It was originally designed to cut food using a gentle rocking motion instead of the traditional back-and-forth slicing technique. For people with limited grip strength, limb differences, arthritis, tremors, or anyone who primarily uses one hand, this simple design can make meal preparation safer, easier, and more comfortable.
Based on the ulu, a tool used by the indigenous tribes in Alaska and Northern Canada, it provides better control by holding down the object a person is cutting, negating the use of another implement like a fork. The incredible design of this knife has allowed it to remain virtually unchanged over the last 3000 years.
Have you ever used a rocker knife? We'd love to hear what a difference this has made in the kitchen or around the home for you.
