The utensil includes a functional section and a handle, with the functional section being heavier than the handle. The handle is made of a lighter weight material than the functional section and may have a hollow center or a minimal design to reduce weight. The handle may also integrate a small amount of liquid to balance the center of gravity. The handle and functional section can be made of different materials or the same type of material. A cuff section may bridge the gap between the handle and functional section.
