  Handle needs some kind of texture, or else may become slippery.

    Knurel that shot up my boy.

    Knureling is heavily underated

      For hand tools, yes. For my silverware, absolutely not no way in hell.

    It’ll ruin the finish, but you could just use some sand paper… maybe 80 or 100 grit?

  Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.

  Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.

  The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.

  Allow me to introduce you to my favorite fork. I feel like yours would rotate in the hand while applying downward cutting force.

    Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark…

  Personally I don’t like that handle either. Needs to be thicker.

      That’s how they are when first harvested from the fork-bush. Have to carefully separate the layers for each individual fork.

        gotta wait until it ripens though, otherwise you’ll just make a mess and hurt your fingers

        They say he carved it himself. From a larger fork.

      Haha no the prongs of the first one looks good. But the handle looks too thin for my big hands. That thick fork looks like a nightmare, though.

    I’m assuming you mean thinner

      Just reading your comment gave me arthritis.

• sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Damn, that is the most perfect fork I’ve seen, wow.

  Yeah I was gonna say 2’s prong/head with 5’s handle would probably be the best out of what’s available in the OP image, but yours is… sublime, hah.

  • caseyweederman@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I was going to say “2 but with 5’s handle and if you say 1 I am going to” but I couldn’t think of a silly threat that would be absurd but in a funny way

      … i am going to stick fork 1 in our friendship status, cuz its done.

  Round handles don’t let me know the rotation so hard pass from me.

  source

  • Rivalarrival@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The profile of the handle is square, not circular.

    • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Eh, close enough. I want a paddle!

  I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn’t be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don’t just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there’s no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn’t have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn’t either. It should also not be that flat, so it’s nicer to grip.

  Once I move out of my parents house, I’m definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I’ve ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it’s not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it’s nice to grip. I don’t understand how people who design things like this just don’t think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?
