For users with impaired muscular strength who need to support their hand and forearm and most often use a pen grip when eating. This requires a minimum of effort to use, a “placed-between-the-fingers grip” and a little movement. Utensil lengths from 7-3/4" to 8-3/4"; weights from .8 oz to 1.2 oz. The underside of the plastic handle is gently rounded to prevent point pressure. Stainless steel. Dishwasher safe.
