It's a knife and a fork in one. It's a
Knork. The edge of a regular fork is used to cut food more often than a knife, so why isn't there a blade there? Well, now there is, thanks to the engineers at Knork! Ideal for travelers, hikers, and people with motor skills disabilities or arthritis, this ingenious utensil incorporates the cutting power of the table knife with uninhibited forking applications for single-utensil, dining ease. Wider and sturdier outer tines are curved like knife blades for easy cutting, while a thick, well-balanced handle provides optimal cutting power. The curved outer edges provide increased cutting capability via a unique rocking motion, and can be sharpened, blunted, or serrated for a wide variety of cutting tasks. Smart ergonomics means more comfort while cutting. A finger platform on both sides provides a comfortable resting place for both left- and right-handed users. The Knork is constructed of 100 percent forged, 18/10 stainless steel for lifelong durability. A high gloss finish keeps Knorks shining for years. More than just a handy invention, the Knork is an evolutionary advancement!
