The spork is old news. Who really needs a spoon/fork combination. But a fork that cuts like a knife. Now that ergonomic marvel is the Knork.

Why Is It Different?

The Knork is a fully functional fork that has been improved with a cutting edge. It was designed to make knives obsolete, especially when the setting has you holding your plate with one hand and eating with the other.

The Knork is designed to cut through steak and anything else, even on a paper plate being held while standing, only needing one utensil.

Then you can pick it up like you would with any other fork and convey the tasty morsels to your mouth.

Does it Deliver?

By goodness, the Knork does deliver. The inventor carefully studied the physics behind cutting though food. He found you could saw through it using a serrated edge or cut through it with pressure. He went with the later and designed a fork with an ingenious cutting edge.

The edge is not sharp. It won't slice your hand or hurt you in any way. Yet with a slight pivoting motion, natural while cutting through food, it exerts an immense amount of pressure. The pressure is enough to cut through vegetables, meat and anything else you are likely to eat.

Beneficeries

The Knork benefits anyone who has to eat with one hand including:

• Party Goers
• Barbecue Attendees
• Casual Diners
• One Armed Bandits

Summary

Learning the science behind the ergonomic design of the Knork I was not at all surprised to find out that it lived up to its promises. The Knork cut like a dream in all kinds of situations and functioned perfectly well as a fork.

A lot of times when you combine tools into a multipurpose tool you have to compromise. The Knork doesn't.

It is available individually or as part of a complete flatware line so it will fit into any dining situation. But it really stands out when it is the only utensil needed.
