The kitchen knife is a crucial everyday accessory whose design has undergone little real chance over the years, but the Bolo knife is looking to shake things up. This innovative knife, currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, features a circular grip that is more ergonomic and allows for more versatile and comfortable use.
Traditional knives' grips and blades put too much stress on the user's wrist and hand. The Bolo knife is designed to allow the user to apply the force of their hand on top of the blade, meaning they don't have to perform unnatural movements. The circular blade grip also makes cutting more precise.
The Bolo knife is testament to the fact that even products that we take for granted as not having any more space to evolve can in fact be improved. This knife can be used as a regular kitchen knife, pastry blade and tenderizer blade, and is easy to use for kitchen work of all kinds.
