Ergonomic All-Purpose Tools

The Many Angles of the Maketicus Knife will Fit Your Hand Perfectly

— November 14, 2011 — Art & Design
The Maketicus Knife may look like a complicated mess of angles at first glance, but all those different edges only provide for a better fit once its in your hand.

Designed by Art Lebedev Studio, the Maketicus Knife focuses on ergonomics and "[i]ts complex, multi-faceted body allows you to work with your hand 'floating' or supported," according to the studio's website. The lime green color also gives the knife an easily approachable look for those who aren't as comfortable using tools.

Don't settle for a clunky knife that may prove to be dangerous; the Maketicus knife will do the job and keep you at complete ease.
