A couple came into my store one day and the wife had severe arthritis. She had a fork, knife and spoon with the handles designed so she could use them. She explained she was very self conscious about going into a resturant and pulling out her own silverware, but she couldnt feed herself otherwise and that was more embarrassing.
I sent her to a friend of mine who was a very talented saddlemaker and silversmith. Told him they were coming by and explained the situation. He made her a tooled leather and silver case for her eating utensils. She made a point of showing them to me and said how proud she felt when she laid them on the table in a resturant.
Problem solved!
