DBx-Custom Handmade Knives

Features & Benefits ...

- The secrets behind great culinary knives are optimized... 

 - Handle ... Size & Geometry 

  - Blade ... Styles & Profiles

- DBx-Handles are sized & contoured, reducing relative grip strength necessary to safely prepare our foods by 80%.

- Our thin, precision ground blades... are easily sharpened, reduce cutting force & retaining performance over time.

- A consistent/comfortable high-strength grasp, yields muscle memory for cutting-edge position & direction.

- Large thumb & finger handle contours/ facets enhance directional & roll control to minimize injury risk.

- Large force application zones ... can diminish peak pressures by over 90% for a stress/pain-free user experience. 

- Lightweight blades & handles enhance user feedback, resulting in refined knife handling skills & cutting techniques.

Innovative Handle Designs

Sized &   Contoured ...

"One Size Fits All" is a myth not accepted in the glove, shoe & clothing industries, but widely promoted among culinary knife makers.

- Sized & geometrically corrected knife handle designs provide unmatched: safety, comfort & control.

- Asymmetrical handle geometry, correlating with your natural grasp, alleviates a wide range of issues.

- DBx handles minimize peak grip pressures ... to significantly reduce the risk of injury.

-Deep handle contours prevent our hand from sliding forward into the blade & the knife from slipping out of our hand.

- Properly sized & placed handle facets reduce the dangers of a handle/knife rotating in our grasp.

- Geometrical facets (grip areas) for individual finger segments & the thumb, enhance our effective grip strength.

- Ergonomics isn't a luxury, it's a

necessity for individuals with arthritis, hand injuries & the elderly.

Custom Pinch-Grip Handles

Minimize ... Injury Risk

Traditional  Handles Yield

 Small Grip Force Contact Areas 

- These high-peak pressure points in the knife handle grasp restrict blood flow in the fingers, hand wrist & arm.

- Note: One PSI. Impairs blood flow.

- Low blood flow is linked to muscle strain, nerve damage, tissue breakdown & repetitive stress injuries.

- Arthritis amplifies the side effects , causing, numbness, pain & stiffness in the fingers & hands.

Custom DBx-Handles   

More Cutting Power, Less Pain 

- DBx Pinch Grip Handles yield outstanding: comfort, power & control for a safer user experience.

- Data driven innovation to significantly reduce the relative hand strength necessary to safely control a culinary knife. 



- Our ergonomic, innovative designs are key to the independence of individuals with low hand &/or wrist strength.

In a blade centric pinch grip; cutting/down forces are focused into two small zones.

- DBx Pinch-Grip handles distribute force over surface areas 20~25x larger, reducing pain & tissue damage.

Muscle, nerve & tissue damage is often related to handle size & symmetrical design.

- DBx asymmetrical, custom geometry handles are designed to reduce peak pressure points & stress in the hand.

Muscle memory for handle to blade angle is difficult to establish with most traditional knife handles. 

- DBx-Handles provide for a consistent, secure & comfortable grasp.

- Consistency is essential for intuitive & accurate placement of the cutting edge.

- Custom-sized, geometrically corrected handle designs provide unparalleled ergonomics & safety in kitchen cutlery.

Handle  Design Logic ...

Knives pose a risk to the users, most often when they slip and/or rotate in the hand.

- The thumb & finger control surfaces are crucial design elements to prevent the knife from rolling & cutting the hand holding the food. 

Hand damage & repetitive stress injuries are often the result of incorrectly sized & symmetrical handle designs.

- Handles properly sized with asymmetrical geometry significantly reduce the risk of hand damage & repetitive stress injuries.

Extreme wrist angles causing stress are related to a knife handle's linear alignment with the blade.

- Our asymmetrical handle... designs & relative blade alignment, significantly reduce horizontal & vertical wrist angles.

- Reduced wrist angles also yield more blade control & cutting power.

Cutting Board Performance

- Knuckle clearance increases our opportunities to utilize sections of the knife blade/cutting edge closer to the handle .

- This minimizes the relative forces, required at the handle to prepare our food.

- These features will provide a more enjoyable & safer food preparation experience for years to come.

- We offer various knife handle & blade design combinations optimized for food preparation on cutting boards.

- Select knives with low cutting curvature combined with handles angled down in the back & indexed to reduce extreme wrist angles. 

- Most DBx-Knife designs also provide knuckle clearance alleviating the need to work at the perimeter of a cutting board.
