Best handle design to avoid wrist fatigue (satire)

I was reading a knife magazine and saw something about concern over handle designs for "wrist fatigue." It got me to thinking.

When I look at knives while sitting in front of the TV, I notice after about 8-10 hours of fantasizing about stabbing the Wehrmacht or a band of wild Moros or the Croc Hunter that my wrist gets tired and I have to put the knife down.

Is this a common problem?

;)
 
8-10 hours is a long time to be sitting in front of the TV. My wrist would get tired handling the remote! Try going outside with that knife and slicing some heavy cardboard, cut some plastic flower pots, or chop a few limbs off a tree here and there! After a few weeks of this, your wrist will be a lot stronger and you ought to be able to handle 20 hours of TV time at that point! :D
 
Those are great suggestions! Be sure to keep copious notes. A weeks worth of cutting plastic flower pots, cardboard, and turning your prized dogwoods into kindling should provide plenty of fodder for some real world test reports :D
 
Were this W&C, I'd be expecting a reference to some other kind of "wrist fatigue". ;)
 
Hey, knifesturbation is tiring.

Seriously, the only time I've used a knife long enough to have wrist fatigue is when I had to reprofile harder steels on my Sharpmaker medium rods. Ugh.
 
The tired wrist may be due to the fact that I had ATTACHED the TV to the KNIFE! I got a Samsung black tactical TV and had a custom sheath made for it and riveted the knife to it so I could have protection while watching the Home Shopping Channel and you really have to watch it for 8-10 hours to find the really GREAT Ginsu knives.
Someone suggested taking the TV off the knife, and now it is not quite as tiring.;)
 
Of course, it would have been simpler just to change hands every once in a while. ;)
