ABSTRACT:
A cutlery implement includes a blade, a handle and a bolster. The bolster is positioned at a balance point, in front of the back edge of the blade. The bolster has a tapered thickness to create a smooth transition from the blade to the handle. The bolster provides a more comfortable gripping portion, such that user may safely grip the cutlery implement at its balance point. A cutlery block is configured to store a cutlery implement having a bolster with a tapered thickness such that the blade is safely concealed.
