Most "arthritis-friendly" knives change the handle — not the design. Learn what force transfer geometry actually is and why it's the only thing that matters.
Traditional knives assume you're standing. For seated cooks, that assumption is the design flaw. Here's the biomechanics of why — and what actually fixes it.
For many older adults, the kitchen is still a place of comfort, routine, and independence. But arthritis, weak grip, limited mobility, and other age-related changes can make meal prep harder than it used to be.
That is where the right tools matter. NULU Knives help make cutting easier for seniors, caregivers, and people with mobility challenges by reducing strain and improving control. When kitchen tools are easier to use, cooking can feel safer, more manageable, and more empowering.
Independence in the kitchen isn't just physical — it's identity. Doug Katz joins Grounded in Maine on the Ability Curve™, radical acceptance, and NULU's mission.
My appearance on the Move Swiftly Podcast: why the idea is only 15% — and why a West Point grad believes your success lives entirely in the agency of others.
My appearance on Entrepreneur's Enigma: how an artillery officer's approach to task, condition, and standards became the design methodology behind NULU's adaptive kitchen revolution.
Aikido taught me that gripping harder breaks the kinetic chain. Designing NULU taught me the same thing. Aging made me live it. Here's what all three have in common.
Knives haven't changed for centuries — but the people using them have. Discover why traditional knife geometry fails modern lives and what inclusive design demands instead.
What if aging in place was about thriving, not just surviving? Douglas Katz and the Ability Curve™ are changing the conversation on adaptive design.
Caring for his father changed everything. NULU co-inventor Doug Katz joins OWLJ Captivation to share how personal experience drove adaptive kitchen innovation.
54 million arthritis sufferers. 150 million people with some type of disability. No Amazon category. No mainstream reviews. The Ability Curve™ exposes why adaptive kitchen consumers are invisible — and how to fix it.
Traditional knives transfer force inefficiently — and that inefficiency causes injury. A physics-based analysis of three knife designs reveals why NULU's geometry wins.
