Here's a small thing I made recently to have a bit of fun; an idea I've had since a kid. It took about 3 hours to make....

OK you HAVE to start mass producing these.

Imagine the space I could save in my kitchen drawer.

And so what if my kids cut out their tongues while eating Frosted Flakes. Less talking back and less cavities smile.gif

I remember the first time I saw a 'Spork' was in 1970, when I moved from NJ to FL and was still in elementary school. It was in fact the elementary school I entered there where the first trip to the cafeteria brought this strange object to light. It was the only utensil the provided to eat with.

I still find many people today have never heard of one.

For your modification to the concept, all I can say is: don't eat to quickly with it!

Here is another variation on the spork/knife:

The only question I have is, how do you hold your food while you cut it?

Wow, great link! I looked when I made this about 2 months ago and didn't find it. I even went to the same site. Maybe the government's listening to my thoughts? (squawk, no we're not). tongue.gif

I'd say the serrated edge looks more dangerous on theirs, but clever use of handle for the spoon! I made up a word for this type of "integration" (I think, waiting for link to come back... tongue.gif). The word is "Iconometrics". After at least 5 minutes of serious thought, I concluded that "silverware" is more "Icon" than "Econ".

Youd have to make a left handed version, it seems that spoon is best used by a rightie.

Wow. This gives new meaning to "I'll gouge your eyes out with a spork!"

I can imagine the commercial now.
Multiple scenes of people having extreme dificulty using regular old-fashioned utensils.

A few "Wow that's easy" remarks after picking up the Kniforspoo.

Try to get Billy Mays to do it.
Nobody yells at the TV audiance quite like he can.

I prefer Rhura Pente in the Summertime... wink.gif


The only problem I have with this utensil is that if the knife part is sharp enough and your were eating...say soup...wouldnt you cut one side of your mouth on occasion?

"DEADLY KNIFESPORK RECALL! Thousands die as earthquake hits during lunchtime!"

"A spokesperson for the California Council on Troublesome Cutlery announced today that the incident in LA was a direct result of the knifesporks design flaws. He was quoted as saying " The inventor knew the modifications he made could have deadly consequences and pushed the flawed design through anyway. Now we have over a 1000 mangled people which the state has set up counciling for and supplemental lawyers for the impending lawsuit.
CUTCO, the company that distributes the Knifespork said in a statement Tuesday that the items "were manufactured to specifications." CUTCO is a contracted distributor of Lumenlab Inc. "Brainchild" the companies owner said in a brief statement to the LA Times " What? Are you serious? I REALLY dont have time for this crap."

A spokesperson for the victims says that they would each like to receive 1,000,000 dollars for pain and suffering and have a spot on the next Batman movie."

hahaa me laughs

BTW, you eat soup with only the spoon-side of the Kniferspoo; don't shove the tines in your mouth! For those who can't figure it out, the spoon-side is on the top side of the picture shown.
Edwardswolentoe
Hence why you would need to make ones for lefties.

Okay here a silly question...What SIZE spoon did you start to make that with.
Durachko
Humph . . . I eat with my fingers. Cro-Magnon baby!
samuraijack
I cant help but look at it and think "It's an East Indian ritual torture device."

( Haha! I am The Wielder of the Spork of Shiva! Feel the awesome power of my KNIFORSPOO! )

If your kid's mouths can survive captain crunch, they can handle this peice of silverware.

They say he carved it himself . . . from a bigger spoon
