Wow...great stuff...my honey is having problems with telling his hands to do something and they just sit there...really bad when he is trying to eat or drink.

I like the knife ideas, I will have to let him take a peak and see which or what one he would like to try...thanks!!!

Just found this thread today and am very thankful. My fingers and hands can be an extreme source of frustration for me on a given day.

I have had times when DH has had to cut the meat on my plate for me. I've noticed the stares. I'm sure some think I'm acting like a diva and some think how cute it is that he's cutting my food for me. Of course, I also get the stares in public when I'm having difficulty cutting (fumbling) my food. Can't win. What do I do at home? Stab it with a fork and go all "cavewoman" on the food. LOL

That onion thing is very cool and looks like what I do with a fork already. I don't do well with cutting food but if I can hold it steady, it's easier.

Bummer about the Tater Gloves though because it takes me forever to use a veggie peeler.

I bought some weighted silverware for my mom who has tremors and plan to buy some for a friend with MS.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I Love my Knork! The way it is weighted and balances so easily in my hand is priceless. I'm considering getting the matching spoons and knife sets. I don't use for the knife aspect so much, but it sure making holding the fork effortless.

Thanks Cindy for recommending them. I don't know how I lived without them.

My honey is with you on that one...I have to cut his food most of the time when we eat out and also at home. He tries to do it when we go out because he is a man...no pun intended...
