KNORK Original Fork Set - Single Piece Stainless Steel Flatware, Silver Gloss Finish, Packaged in Clear Plastic Tube

My old flatware that I inherited from my mother has gone missing over the past few years and I was in need of a fork. I had one fork for several years but I wanted an extra one. Looked around Amazon and wanted to get something that was at least supported by a US manufacturer. Take note - this Knork was originally released in *2004*, so that should tell you about the longevity of this brand.I bought this Knork mainly for the fork option, and yes the weighting on the Knork is very different. It's heavier on the fork end and lighter on the handle end. As a fork, it does take a few meals to get used to, but all in all it still works well as a fork.For cutting, I tried this on some well done steak and yeah, it didn't get me much results. It was great for veggies and bread though. Smart design. These Knorks are essentially "quality of life" in a fork. It has a nice thick area right above the tines, which lets you use your index finger to really dig into the thing you're cutting. It also has a nice scooped shape which makes it easier to pick food up like a makeshift spoon.Knork seems to sell full flatware sets so I might buy a basic set from these folks because they have a good idea going with this. As you can tell, this is a great flatware for folks who have difficulties with a hand or arm - this allows for one-handed eating and cutting. Well done on Knork for creating something that helps these folks as well!

I was interested in this pattern. This was a great and inexpensive way to see if I liked them before buying a set. If you’re considering buying a set, but aren’t sure. Buy one of these singles and see.

Great fork! Nice size, heavy duty, fork. I like the look of it, it doesn’t look like your regular run of the meal fork. It has a good weight on it, nice and thick and easy to clean.

The edge that is supposed to cut, is not much narrower that a normal fork. I tried it on a microwaved potato and you would have to push really hard to cut anything. Its not much better than a normal fork. This one of those items that I wont return because it does not cost much and I dont want to bother. I will probably put it in my recycle container soon. They should make a "spork" with a cutting edge, only sharper. That was you would have 3 tools. They do exist but are small and for camping. Go Figure This item might be made where they dont use forks and have soft food all the time.

Beautiful but not much improved in cutting ability.

This was a reorder, but what i got was not as the original

Very suitable for me. Now I can eat eithout chang between knife and fork very satisfied

This fork is heavier than the average with a broad area near the top of the forking to add additional pressure for cutting without a knfe. The tines are beveled to also add to that ability, but are not sharp enough to hurt you. Pretty cool for folks with problems with their hands or just to save getting a knife dirty for no reason. I may have to get more for Christmas gifts or just to have extras. Might be nice to have one for eating in the car...
