Has anyone ever seen anything that clamps to the spine of a chefs knife to widen the blade? Widen it just a bit so its easier for your off-hand to push down when cutting thick, difficult items like meat, blocks of cheese, etc?
My wife was watching a cooking segment on TV and noticed they had an attachment that clamped onto the top (spine) of a chef's knife. It didn't look very wide (maybe 1/2") but seemed to make it much easier to push the blade through and not have the spine of the blade crease into your off-hand.
I have been searching the internet at different knife retailers but can't find anything. I wonder if that cook just had
something built. Just two thin aluminum blocks that are drilled and tapped could be made into something like that.
Just clamp to the end of the blade and it should work.
Anyone seen anything already built?
