New Favorite: the Knork


As someone who prefers to use the tines of her fork to cut up her meal rather than using a knife (sorry, Emily Post) I adore the knork . Oh, yes the knork: a knife/fork hybrid. While it can cut through most foods (even meat!) it isn't sharp-the end tine is angled in such away that it can cut through things easily. I think it would be perfect to have on hand at work or in the car for those times when you are out and need a utensil unexpectedly. Or maybe that would only happen to me back when I worked outside of the home. I hate digging plastic utensils out of communal bins. The thought of all of those strange fingers touching something I eat with-ick. Anyway, I think it is pretty neat and much more functional than the spork.

I've often wondered about this since it came out. Would you cut your mouth? Hm.

No, it's not pointy or sharp at all. It looks and feels just like a regular fork.

Maybe they will make a Spknork? That would be the dream all-in-on utensil that you could cut steak with and also eat soup!

I dig the spork and I think I could totally get behind this invention. And I agree... other people's dirty hands digging in the flatware.... ick.
