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.
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.

I would also accept 2 with 4’s handle. ☺️
