You can see full details of the Big Grip cutlery below
If you have grip issues, then this cutlery is for you. I don’t but my dad does, so I asked him to test them out for me.
I will start off by saying that you can buy cheaper in other shops. In fact, you can buy a complete set for the price of one of the Big Grip cutlery. However, you get what you pay for.
I wanted to know what the difference was, so I bought one of the cheaper complete sets and asked my dad to try those as well and compare them.The Big Grip cutlery was far superior in every way. Hence, I guess the cost difference.
With the cheaper set my dad found that the handle was thinner and not that easy to grip. He said it felt unbalanced in his hand. The metal areas of the cutlery was heavier than the handle and so it kept on wanting to fall. A few time my dad dropped the cutlery. The tongue of the cutlery (the part that fits to the handle) was too short. So, when he was eating the handle was hitting his lips or nose. The spoon and fork was small, and the knife was not as sharp.
On the other hand, the Big Grip cutlery was what he preferred to use and is still using.They are balanced well, with a longer tongue. The knife is sharp. They are the complete opposite to the cheaper versions you can get.So, you really do, in this case, get what you pay for.
