The 'Pinchy Cutlery' has been developed by Jason Su as a new take on flatware for a person to keep tucked inside their lunchbox or at their desk for quick, hygienic eating at anytime.
The cutlery features a large case in the handle that opens to reveal storage space for the metal utensil end, which can be shifted between with a quick flip. The utensil heads can be swapped out between fork, spoon and knife options to allow for the consumption of any kind of cuisine.
The 'Pinchy Cutlery' is constructed with 304 stainless steel for the utensil head and antibacterial plastic for the handle to put hygiene in the spotlight. The handle will also keep the utensil head elevated off a surface when placed down to further enhance cleanliness.
