Fork Chops – Chopsticks with a Fork and Knife

fork chopsIf you look over at our History & Technical page you will see a map at the bottom with the different breeds of cutlery. Amongst the splayds, knorks, and spifes you will not find the Fork Chop. These hybrid of the chopstick and a fork and knife are a little off the map.

Made of plastic these aren’t an everyday use item, but they aren’t disposable either and are dishwasher safe. The best use for these I have found is when serving tapas or cheese platters. But where they seem to really work well is with the Knife and Fork Caesar Salad.

Small but bigger. Columbia River 9110C Eat N’ Tool X-Large

crkteattoolxlargeA few of us last Xmas got the now “baby version” CRKT Eat N’ Tool that I reviewed last year. Well the fine folks at Columbia River have now “extended” their line and created the extra large 9110C Eat N’ Tool which features an actual handle to the spork and a more functional hex wrench. No it’s not titanium but it’s a great price. The longer handle means you can reach the bottom of that can of beans (it has a can opener now!) without getting your hands dirty. The original model is still a favorite of mine but I’m asking Santa for this new one.

Sporkish? CRKT Eat’N Tool Minimal Multi-Tool

51W4bfrJPyL._SL1000_Three of us got one of these in our Xmas stocking, two of us adults and one college student. The adults thought “Hmmm…good for camping and opening beer.” and the student thought “Perfect for the dorm! (and beer)”. Eating prepared food in some dorms is against the rules and even finding cutlery is a possible fine. So we declared it the “Stealth Spork” and then one of the ladies in the room brandished it in her fist declaring it a great self-defense weapon. The CRKT Eat’N Tool is now known in our house as the “Killer Stealth Spork”. I love this and plan to buy more as gifts.
