I’m 100% blind so let me try to answer your questions

I was lucky enough to find one of those New Age fancy plastic things that let you organize your utensils. I have zero idea what it’s called but you know the thing that lets you put the knives in one section the forks and one section in the spoons in another section and as long as you put them all in there together in the same stack you always know what you’re grabbing. So in my case if I wanna grab a knife it’s always on the far left so I think that makes things a lot easier for me as a blind person.

I have never cut myself while using a knife you just take it slow and I mean that’s just common sense.

I don’t see the point of designing an electric knife just for blind people or even a knife just for blind people but if you must. I need my steak knife to play eye of the Tiger when I’m cutting my steaks and it must play it as soon as I dip into the steak. It would be nice if it played for a whole minute 27 seconds after you are done cutting your steak. I think Bluetooth conducivity would make the knife a little bit too expensive so we could just make sure that it just has a really good speaker on it.

If I could change one thing about utensils it would be that the concave and the convex side of utensils are always facing the correct direction. There have been times when I found them backwards and that makes pointing the utensils on the right direction from a go very difficult. No point in the right direction but have them face in the correct direction to feed food into your mouth.

I love eating so if you have any more questions about eating or using utensils just let me know since I have a lot of great ideas.

Please use the post stickied on the front page that is for for this very reason. It's bright green, our sighted visitors shouldn't be able to miss it.

Also, an electric knife is a monumentally terrible idea. The safest knife is a normal knife that is kept properly sharp.
