      I was like this, then I saw the handle. That being said its still 2 but its very close and it could be better still like the 1 or 5 handle

      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.

      Yep, number two is the best.

      Give us a harder choice.

      Agreed, none of the others are balanced properly or have good flow. Number two is the only option.

      It is clear to me that the only explanation for your preference is nostalgia.

        I don’t understand. I think the handle would work best for my hands, and the prongs are just the right size for me.

          Those prongs are fine. The handle, though, it’s like having a huge counterweight on the back of the utensil. I can imagine liking it if it’s always been that way or if you have big hands. Otherwise, handle number 5 is the clear improvement - no sharp edges, properly balanced, not shaped like a wedge. Could hold that fork for days.

              Yeah, 2 tines and 4 handle is a pretty good fork, I’ll admit. I just worry about the concave shape of the top side of the handle causing the edges to dig into my fingers with long-term use.
