The only valid choice is 3, I want the full weight of the fork to be the tongs so they don’t knock cups over.

I’d pick 5 but none of these look all that comfy
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 16 minutes ago
Wow we are so different. I don’t even want to be in the same room as 5. I like the edges to be straight straight straight like a hitscan ray no band tyuuuuu
OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 39 minutes ago
Handle of 5 is the best. They usually also have a bit of a weight in it, I hate light forks.
yournamehere@lemm.ee 18 minutes ago
but the handle could be a bit wider. i mean it is the best but not perfect at all.
Karjalan@lemmy.world 36 minutes ago
Yeah, I didn’t think I was fork divergent… But I jumped straight to 5.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 33 minutes ago
All of them have a flat handle. My personal preference is for a cylindrical handle. Heavier and easier to hold. Flat cutlery that looks like it was stamped out of sheet metal won’t do at all.
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 11 minutes ago
Also when the tines have like sharp corners from the stamping — ick. I’m not a machine, sir. Please do be keeping ur industrial design away from my mouth. ;x

My fork is the correct fork. None of these are my fork.
In the event of a fork loss, any of these forks could become my fork after a period of time, probably about a month or so until it felt right.

Top rack is the solution! Or a basket that doesn’t have slots, just the basket.

Damn right. I have 4 2s and 4 4s and it’s a sad day when I’ve been too lazy to do the dishes and only have 4s left to use.

1 - the tines on it are plenty long and it’s narrower than most of the others
phoenixarise@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
2, and only 2.
Kattiydid@slrpnk.net 2 hours ago
Agreed, none of the others are balanced properly or have good flow. Number two is the only option.
Wilco@lemm.ee 4 hours ago
Yep, number two is the best.
Give us a harder choice.

Dont you love when you stick your fork into a potato and end up cutting the fucker in half? Thats what these wide tines do.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 hours ago
Looks like 4 has wider tines… and a couple others.

It is clear to me that the only explanation for your preference is nostalgia.
phoenixarise@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
I don’t understand. I think the handle would work best for my hands, and the prongs are just the right size for me.

None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you’d find in a diner.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 4 hours ago
Agreed. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. 5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.
Here is the perfect fork: Image
Brownboy13@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Handle needs some kind of texture, or else may become slippery.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 hours 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.
yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
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.

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

What’s it called? I need more!
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 2 hours ago
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?

All of these fail. This is like one of those pick the baddie out of the line up things, except all of these have done some shitty things. 3 is the closest I guess, but the handle fails hard.
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 minutes ago
It probably says a lot about me to be able to articulate this, but it’s 100% 3 because of the way the head has a low flare leading to a high taper. The others are all way too flat or round.
