ABSTRACT:
A piece of cutlery which is designed to assist people such as children who are unfamiliar with cutlery, how to use it effectively and correctly. The piece of cutlery has a recess in the upper surface of the handle in the region where the handle and operative portion, e.g. the knife blade or fork prongs, of the piece of cutlery join. This recess is centered on the longitudinal center line of the piece of cutlery and is of a size to accommodate and locate the tip of the user's index finger in the effective and correct position for the user of the piece of cutlery. Also it is of sufficient depth to prevent accidental displacement of the tip of the finger during normal usage of the piece of cutlery. Preferably, the handle is S-shaped when viewed from the left-hand side so that it fits snugly in the palm of a child's hand with the tip of the index finger positioned in the recess.
