I love Knorks!!! Even the plastic ones. As I have said before in my Knork reviews, they are STURDY. I love that in eating implements!!!

Theis is a great idea on paper. Who doesn't want environmentally friendly plastic tableware that is light, for those who can use that type of help, and attractive? Unfortunatel;y, after using and washing these for about a week or so, I notice that the fork end started becoming shorter. It seems to be disintegrating, although I can't say where it's going. Thinking that I might be ingesting it made me queazy so I finally have to throw the rest of the package away.

Recently I was asked to take a stab at using a new and innovative eating utensil called the "Knork®," which is a cross between a knife and a fork. My family and I tried it for a couple of weeks and decided we really liked it! One family member has mobility issues and cannot easily manipulate a knife and fork, so this unusual piece of flatware is much easier for him to cut and pick up his food using only one hand.

At first glance this looks like an ordinary fork (see picture). However, when you turn it sideways you will see the head of the fork has a uniquely designed "finger platform" so that pressure can be applied without any discomfort to the fingertip. The outer tines are broad, beveled, and curved so the Knork® can easily cut through food, but isn't sharp enough to cause an injury.

The reusable plasticware is great for children who may find it easier to manipulate than the heavier, stainless steel version. Plus, it's also convenient for traveling, the office, cookouts, camping, etc.

Be sure to also check out the original Knork 4-pc. Flatware Set, which is made of sturdy stainless steel with an enlarged handle for easier gripping and is available in several finishes such as satin, gloss, and matte.
