Abstract

A knife with a handle attached to the blade is described. The handle extends horizontally down the spine towards the tip and vertically down the heel to cover a portion of the blade. The inventive knife is particularly suited for use when choking up. The handle of the knife extends beyond the bolster, or where the bolster would typically be on a knife, and covers a portion of the spine and heel of the knife. The shape and positioning of the handle provides a useful, comfortable handle surface for the forefinger, thumb and palm when choking up on the knife. In contrast to prior art knives, the present invention provides a protection to the user's hand which is integral with the handle of the knife therefore prevents any protective elements from slipping out of place during use.
