These utensils can be used by slipping the four fingers of the hand into the hole, allowing for even those with weak grasps to hold them. They are adaptable to other grips as well, such as full encircling grip of thumb through the slot. A unique feature is the swivel screw which allows the utensil to be used with the right or left hand and can be adjusted to any desired angle. They can also be folded into the handle for traveling.
