The utensil can be easily grasped with the minimal clasping motion by persons with hands of various sizes and possesssing only one finger. The utensil includes a handle (12) which permits the person's index finger (20) and palm to be supported entirely along the upper surface of the utensil. The upper surface of the utensil may or may not be flared (14 and 17) and grooved (15), allowing for maximum weight to be exerted onto the forward end (13) of the utensil be it in the form of a fork or knife.
