# Bicycle Grip Knife By Design Crack | Published 2007-02-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knives-easier-to-control-with-bicycle-grips References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2007/02/02/knives-by-mks-design/) & [mksdesign](http://www.mksdesign.com) MKS Design is a small firm is comprised of Adam Simha. His work is mostly what I would call musings in steel. The knives for, instance don't necessarily feel like something Adam set out to do. I would guess that they just happened. They are made of [extremely high-quality steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-japanese-knives) and have somewhat [unique shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yin-mo-star-kui). But the handle really sets the knife apart from the competition. The handle is a modern day equivalent of the bicycle grip used on an old Schwinn Cruiser. I personally prefer handles that are sort of deep and integrated into the steel, but these [knives look really cool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-companion)! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-quality Steel:** The trend of using high-quality steel in product design opens up opportunities for innovative and durable creations. - **Unique Shapes:** The trend of incorporating unique and unconventional shapes into product design offers a chance to stand out and appeal to modern consumers. - **Modern Bicycle Grip:** The trend of adapting bicycle grip designs for other applications presents an opportunity for ergonomic and stylish handles in various industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Knife Manufacturing:** The knife manufacturing industry can explore disruptive innovation by incorporating high-quality steel and unique shapes while taking inspiration from bicycle grip handles. - **Kitchen Utensils:** In the kitchen utensils industry, there is a chance for disruptive innovation by creating high-quality knives with modern bicycle grip handles for enhanced ergonomics and aesthetic appeal. - **Sporting Goods:** The sporting goods industry could benefit from disruptive innovation by applying the bicycle grip handle design to enhance grip and comfort in various products like golf clubs, tennis rackets, etc. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Movement Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-sidewinder-knife.md) - [Marbled Blade Sleek Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vg10-stainless-damascus.md) - [Minimalist Handmade Katana-Style Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-square-tube-knife.md) - [Intricately Designed Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rike-knife.md) - [Pivot Mechanism Sliding Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sliding-knife.md) - [Sleek Handheld Minimal Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidewinder.md) - [Charming Full-Rang Neat Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hk2024-eggplant.md) - [Artisan Customized Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customized-knives.md) - [Sweden-Inspired Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridgeback.md)
