The StikChops™ – One For All - is the universally designed utensil for chopstick and fork users alike! Why is there no dinnerware solution for chopstick and fork users to crossover the culinary divide required effortlessly? Currently, a range of “Cheater Chopsticks” enables those untrained with their use and grasp to manage, but these fall short when navigating into foods prepared and selected with forks and knives. What about an intuitive and user-friendly voyage from one eating utensil and culture easily into the other? Food preparations throughout the world for chopstick and fork vary according to the cultures and utensils used.
If you haven’t grown up using chopsticks or forks as your primary eating utensil yet have decided to master the technique, you’ll know that the learning curve is steep to say the least.Maneuvering these utensils to pick up food items for the untrained hand is certainly easier said than done.Understanding the struggle, Michel designed StikChops™, a revolutionized take on chopsticks and forks for consumers trying new culinary experiences and traditions while dinning locally and traveling abroad.
The StikChops™ utensil is a beautifully designed, simple to use, and user-friendly utensil that bridges the gap between Chopstick and Fork eating for cultures for those expanding their culinary treats. StikChops™ also has a slightly curved body that makes actions like twirling pasta noodles a breeze.Added perks of StikChops™ ergonomic design include its ability to stably rest on the edge of a plate, and act as serving tongs if necessary.
Currently, StikChops™ will be available in five different colours, and comes in
two sizes, regular and children size. The multi-purpose utensil is also
environmentally friendly, is reusable, and recyclable. A travel-friendly
utensil, StikChops™ even comes with a protective cap to keep your on-the-go
experience clean and sanitary.So put the days of flying peas and dropped noodles behind you
with StikChops™. Your non-cramping hand and full stomach will certainly
thank you.

The StikChops - One For All - a multi-purpose utensil is also environmentally friendly, reusable, dishwasher safe, FDA approved for food contact, and recyclable.The StikChops™ utensil its injection molded using the plastic material Delrin from DuPont.
The StikChops™ design and product concept delivers multiple user benefits, here are but a few examples:
·Enables
users multiple right and left-handed grasping positions, rests securely on
plate when not being used, and end portions are elevated and not in contact
with a table's surface when at rest.
·Ease
of selecting food items from both an upright and downward facing positions,
similar to how a Fork operates.
·For
eating some types of food, such as noodles, chopsticks are often ill
suited.The noodles cannot be easily gathered in multiples due to
the users inability to rotate the chopsticks in one’s hand while grasping
noodles as with a fork.
·As
mothers have said countless times to their kids – “Eat More
Slowly”.The StikChops™ extends the eating time to finish one's meal
and allows ample time to trigger the 20-minute signal from your stomach to your
brain that you are full - And feeling full translates into eating less!
·In a recent Health studies
article, people who use chopsticks on a daily bases are more likely to develop
hand osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis that is often due to
excessive use of joints. The StikChops™ are universally designed with multiple
ergonomic grasping positions that help to reduce the stress incurred from
chopsticks which places stress on particular joints in the first, second, and third
fingers.
· The universal design of StikChops™ is reusable, made of Delron from Dupont
