Boneware Skeleton Halloween Cutlery

Fall is upon us and that means cooler weather, a yard full of leave and ghosts and goblins. There’s nothing like a fancy scary Halloween dinner for close friends and undead. And you really need the right flatware to set the frightening tone.

Boneware brings us the Skeleton Plastic Silverware Set. Let’s be clear, this is NOT disposable plastic cutlery. This is BPA & phthalate toxin free, FDA Compliant reusable cutlery.

“BoneWare Cutlery is 3x heavier and Underwriters Laboratory tested to be 6x strong than regular plasticware. The injection molds were hand polished so no sharp edges around the spoon or fork. However, one can actually stab salad with the fork instead of chasing it around the bowl, cut steak with the knife and scoop ice cream or peanut butter with the spoon! Long term tested to be dishwasher safe, lower rack. However, intense heat (steam) will melt the utensils. Lifetime Free Replacement Guarantee if not abused. The BoneWare prototypes were hand-sculpted referencing medical drawings to ensure accurate anatomy. Can be used as an educational tool while eating!”

They are serious about the strength of this cutlery, check it out:

This is an investment in Halloween cutlery that can be used for years to come. And not just Halloween, maybe horror movie theme nights?

A Very Long Spoon for Stanley

finessCity Longest Titanium Long Handled Spoon

This summer has been pretty good considering. And we here at the Cutlery Review have been able to get outdoors and do some backpacking and camping. One of the team bought himself the Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set, seen here:

And it’s a great little cooking pot for boiling water and cooking stews or whatever. This thing is a classic for campers. But we ran into a problem when it came to cutlery when cooking in the Stanley. You see, Stanley here is about 11 inches tall and any normal spoon won’t reach the bottom and still have enough handle to keep your tender fingers away from the heat. A regular cooking spoon for use in pots is too big and tableware is too small. Talk about Goldilocks situation.

So we are looking at the finessCity Longest Titanium Long Handled Spoon. It’s 9.65 inches long and should do the trick. They claim its’ length is 1 inch Longer than any other Long Spoons available on Amazon. And that the polished bowl of Long Handle Spoon is bigger than any other Outdoor Spoon on Amazon. Made of 100% solid Titanium this backpacking long spoon is 0.9 oz/ 25.5gm in weight. And it comes with a Washable Premium Quality Waterproof Cloth Case. Waterproof and cloth? We’ll have to get back to you on that one.

The Knork or “Nelson Fork” by Horatio Nelson

Knife, fork and spoon. That’s the three basic categories of cutlery. But you can crossbreed and mix and match, as seen here:

Today we are going to talk about the “Knork” which is the love child of the Fork and Knife. In short, you get a fork that you can use to cut your food before stabbing it and getting it into your gob. Now look at the photo of that old time knork up top. That’s a scary looking rusty blade attached that’s just looking to slice open the corner of your mouth isn’t it? I’m not going there.

But if you only had one arm like Horatio Nelson then this might be your only option. Horatio Nelson was a British naval admiral who went to war with Napoleon in 1798. And it cost him his ark which was amputated aboard a ship. So for his arm and efforts the British Army gave him a golden Knork which was thereon referred to as “Nelson’s Fork”.

The modern day Knork is a lot more practical. Back in 2015 Oprah Winfrey even a knork set on her list of favorites.

And that was a historical cutlery lesson for you.
