I’d pick 5 but none of these look all that comfy
Yeah, I didn’t think I was fork divergent… But I jumped straight to 5.
Handle of 5 is the best. They usually also have a bit of a weight in it, I hate light forks.
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.
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.
It’s about how they stack, I like a neat stack 👄
People who choose 4, are you doing okay? It’s okay to seek help.
3 is even worse
1 - the tines on it are plenty long and it’s narrower than most of the others
- Slim fork, wide handle.
I hate them! Because can’t fit to dishwasher basket
I can taste that flared base agaist my hard palate
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 or 2 :p
Clearly its the tines of 2 and the handle of 5. Anything else is madness.
My reasoning is quite simple. The tines on the No.2 fork are longer than the others. Long things are often associated with quality, status and refinement (Long fingers, long lashes, long legs etc.). The extra length suggest dexterity and precision.
Conversely the comparatively stubby tines of the No.1 fork would likely suit a toddler or an adult who isn’t allowed near pointy things without supervision. Similarly the tines of the No.5 fork suggest that this utensil was born wanting to be a spoon but then was made into a fork at the last minute. This hypothesis is further supported by the rounded end of it’s handle which would suit a spoon rather well.
Numbers 3 and 4 forks are usually, in my experience found in establishments where you help yourself to cutlery from big pots with grubby labels marked “SPOONS”, “KNIVES” and “FORKS”.
Now to the handles. Although the tines of the No.2 fork are pleasing, it then lets itself down with a handle that widens to the point of absurdity. Perhaps the thought was that it would help the extremely aged keep a firm grip while spooning tapioca past loose dentures.
So a cleaned up fork made from an amalgam of the refined tines of No. 2 fork and the pleasantly rounded handle of No. 5 are the only option for any adult with reasonable dexterity.
- The other handle shapes look awful
Wrong sub. Post here
- The handles on all the others except 5 are hideous but 5 has a really weird pointy bit
Only #2. Having a consistent set of cutlery is priceless.
2
Handle of 5 + the fork of 3
I am so on board with you
The will of the people
