There are basically two ways to stabilize a rod-like item (fork, knife, rod, etc) with a prosthetic hook.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first way to place a knife or other item with a similar shape into the hook is by using the cable attachment as lever to avoid the item to slip out.<\/p>\n

While this is the “obvious” way to do it, it is not without its dangers. One can firmly press down – as when cutting a not so tender meat with a not so sharp knife – but watch closely; here, we are still OK with pressing down…:<\/p>\n

\"CIMG5419\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And due to (a) limited amount of rubbers and (b) the geometry of the knife versus the geometry of the hook device, the knife will swivel under sufficient pressure:<\/p>\n

So, for very extensive pressure, I will place the item into the hook’s base such as this:<\/p>\n

Now, the hook has two claws one of which does NOT move.- Turning that one up as shown here, one can then basically exert very large amounts of pressure onto the item such as a knife.<\/p>\n

Adding a small wire loop or rubber band can also help to add stability in any other direction.<\/p>\n\n
