Hi Designer,
Firstly, I would like to thankyou for thinking about those who have
problems, I hope you can design something useful.  My problem comes
when I am dining out.  I hate to look clumsy, or to have poor manners
but holding a knife and fork is tiring.  I hold the utensils OK but
then I can't let go, my hands freeze into the set position.  What I
would like is something that would slide over the handles to make them
thicker, but at the same time not look too out of place.  I have to use
an electric toothbrush because it is thicker and is about the right
thickness.  I almost forgot, you will have to design for different
cultural ways of holding a fork.  I am an Aussi, so my fork is
up-side-down and in the left hand, and the pointer finger and placed
straight out.
Hope your designing goes well,
Gail
