Alternatives to those so-last-week knives, forks, spoons and sporks! .
I was actually hoping for a table-friendly set of tongs / forceps or something else that would actually grip the food.
And, would I put a “knork” in my mouth? Sure - I’d be delighted to accidentally slice my lip! :eek:
These are all solutions looking desperately for a problem.
Ordinary knives, forks and spoons just really aren’t that hard to use. The re-imagined spork they showed there - with a proper spoon bowl - seemed like an OK idea, but I know I’d get really frustrated with those silly, stubby little prongs. My favourite fork has prongs nearly two inches long, and that makes it a pleasure to use.
It can cut a raw Carrot! My God, How is such a thing possible! Man was simply never meant to posses technology that can cut through a raw Carrot.
Exactly. These “fairs” just encourage such things.
No, no, it can cut a raw carrot while your free hand hangs limply and uselessly at your side. Forget the manned mission to Mars! - now we can cut carrots clumsily, while the other hand does nothing at all - let’s stay here on Earth!
Errr… so what holds down your food whilst you’re cutting it with your fancy-dancy knork? The traditional knife and fork combo has its benefits - one anchors while the other works. Duh.
My steak tries to run away if I’m not holding it down tight with a fork… though that may be a result of how rare I like my meat, rather than any cutlery-related techniques.
They look like implements of medieval torture.
And … knork? I’m sorry, but when I hear that word I am reminded of Tim Conway doing his painfully funny Siamese Elephant Story on an outtake of the Carol Burnett show.
KNORK!
You know that you’re supposed to get it to stop mooing before trying to cut it, right?
That knife looked like a jail1house shiv! I want one. Give me something to shank!
And if you watch the video clip, you see another benefit of the thing: you get aerobic exercise while you chase the pieces of the carrot, which have flown to opposite ends of the room! 
The video of the person cutting a steak with the knork shows she had to hold the plate in place.
The utensils with the curved handles actually look useful - seems like they’d be much easier to grip especially for someone with hand-strength issues. In fact they look much like something a former colleague (who was in a wheelchair and had limited hand control; I think he was a quadriplegic?) used to hold pens.
I can’t get past the name. Knork. Makes me think of the horrible coughing-hacking-snorting sound some people make when trying to clear their sinuses. I expected the video to end with someone knorking and spitting.
You guys eat with forks and spoons too? Hell, I just use my trusty Benchmade to spear the random pieces of meat I cooked with my propane torch. It’s quick, easy, and helps keep the dishwashing down to a minimum too. . .
Tripler
I mean, what better way to cut open an MRE bag too?
Well, I do usually try to aim for that split second between when my meat stops mooing and when it becomes overcooked… but I guess that sometimes I just jump the gun a little bit.
If I had a knork, what would my other hand do while eating? Pleasure myself? Hmm… on second thought, I’ll take ten.
Pah. Your puny Knork technology will never prevail over the mighty Australian Splayd!
