A simplified kitchen tool

The kitchen tools market is saturated with many complicated gadgets focused on speed and efficiency rather than the experience of cooking. Flint is a tool designed to allow the user enjoy their food and the time they spend cooking it. Inspired by the simplicity and functionality of stone age tools, it is focused on the act of cooking rather than tricks and gimmicks.


Flint was designed with ergonomics in mind to allow for both comfort and ease in its use. The finger rest provides support, allowing the user to apply downward force with less pressure. The rounded top fits into the palm for a comfortable grip and easy handling. The blade is also rounded to allow for smooth rolling cuts that reduce stress on the wrist
