  • Blade grip for a knife and method of use
    Patent number: 7434320
    Abstract: An elongate blade grip is attached to the top edge of a knife blade to achieve greater cutting control and efficiency. The blade grip includes a top member and two opposing side members connected to the top member. The blade grip closely conforms to the flat shape of the knife blade so as to allow knife users to choke up on the knife, or hold the knife partly by the blade. An elongate and rounded top surface on the top member relieves pressure on the proximal phalange of the index finger, thereby reducing blisters and calluses associated with choking up. The side members of the blade grip include slip resistant surfaces where the thumb and medial phalange of the index finger are normally located when choking up on the knife.
