A classic design for a spoon if there ever was one. Usually found in Chinese resturants made of ceramic or plastic. These are stainless steel though. They are about 5 inches long.
And boy oh boy do they every come in handy. This is true multi-use flatware. Yes it is the best cutlery for soups and rice when serving in those cute little bowls. But we find it really shines for the serving of amuse buche.

It’s summer time! It’s time to camp! And no one brings a silverware tray camping (well almost no one). If you are backpacking, picnicking or just travelling then you need some Everyday Carry Cutlery.
This 4 in 1 camping cutlery by Orblue really does seem to do the jobs required. And it’s two for the price of one!
This interesting piece of flatware consists of a camping spoon, fork, knife and can/bottle opener. And the removable camping fork can be held in one hand, with spoon knife in the other. Yup, it transforms into two pieces.
It’s made of dishwasher safe non-stick stainless steel and comes with a nice nylon storage bag for each. Pretty cool pocket cutlery.

We have a set of hanging cutlery in our house that comes in quite handy. Where we use it the most is for picnics or buffet style dining. You just drop it in the middle of the table and if someone needs to butter a bun then there is a knife. Need a spoon for the relish? Right there on the flatware tree, pick it yourself. But we warned most stands are a little tippy as the base isn’t heavy enough but we still find it better than a handful of cutlery in a jar or something.
This hanging flatware by Supreme Housewares includes 4 dinner spoons, 4 dinner forks, 4 dinner knives, 4 salad forks, 4 teaspoons, and one stand. The cutlery and stand are made of stainless steel.

The folks at Alessi sure do have a great collection of cutlery by some very talented designers.
The “Eat. It” flatware designed by Wiel Arets has a interesting concept. The idea is that all the tableware (in particular the knife, fork and spoon) can be stacked upon each other nicely. This lends for a minimalist setting at the table.
This setting for one consists of a table spoon, table fork, table knife, dessert fork, tea/coffee spoon and are made of 18/10 stainless steel.
