RESILIENT CUTLERY HANDLE

摘要

A cutlery implement (10) having a blade (12) and resilient handle is disclosed. The blade has a proximal end (16), an opposed distal end (18), a cutting edge (20) and a spine (22). The spine is disposed on a top side of the blade portion and generally opposed to the cutting edge. The cutlery implement also includes a handle (14) coupled to the blade proximate the distal end of the blade. The handle includes an upper handle portion (24) and a lower handle portion (28). The upper handle portion is disposed at or near the spine of the blade, and the lower handle portion is coupled to the upper handle portion. Either the upper handle portion or the lower handle is formed from a resilient polymer material, and the other is formed of a generally rigid material. A cavity (52) containing a gel (56) is defined between the lower handle portion and the upper handle portion.
