Richardson Products Inc. 847102021263 Details

Allow for autonomy in your assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospital with this Richardson Products Inc. able grip 8" adaptive rocker knife. This 8" long knife features a 1 1/2" wide grip handle that is intended to help individuals living with Parkinson's, arthritis, hand tremors, or any other cause of poor grip strength. By having a wide grip this utensil requires less gripping power than traditional flatware, and since the handle has a plastic coating it is also easier for patients to maintain their grip when tremors or spasms do occur. It is non-weighted but heavier than traditional silverware for extra stability during use. The end of the handle even has a hanging hole for efficient storage and drying when it is not in use!

This knife boasts a mirror polished finish and is ideal for use serving main entrees at your facility. The blade is designed with smooth edges to prevent accidental injuries and cuts using a rocking motion rather than by slicing. Ribs on the handle allow it to align perfectly with the inside of both palms, making it ideal for both right and left handed individuals. Dishwasher safe up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, this knife is designed to improve dexterity and control while providing users with added independence, making mealtimes easier for both staff and residents.

Customer questions about this product

What are the different weights for Flatware?

Restaurant flatware comes in four different weights: forged, extra-heavy, heavy, and medium weight. The weight refers to the type and quality of the stainless steel and does not necessarily correspond to the heft of an item.


  • Forged flatware is the thickest and strongest as it's made from a single piece of thick stainless steel and is extremely durable to withstand any commercial environment.


  • Extra-heavy weight flatware is a premium grade and exudes a level of quality for finer establishments, feels sturdy, and is difficult to bend. It is made from either 18/0, 18/8, or 18/10 stainless steel.


  • Heavy Weight Flatware is more durable than medium, and makes for a nice presentation for fast-casual or mid-level eateries.


  • The lightest option is Medium Weight Flatware, also called economy weight, and is commonly sought after by the value-minded customer.
