PROTOTYPING
I took clay molds of various users using pinch grip. These molds gave me an idea of what an ergonomic, pinch-grip inducing knife handle would look like. I used the resulting form as the basis of my design.
USER TESTING
Using the composite image from the clay impressions as a starting point, I created foam models to conduct user testing. Using feedback from the user testing, I made modifications and arrived at the final form.
