•  Fork

  As a piece of cutlery or kitchenware, a fork is a tool consisting of a handle with several narrow tines (usually two, three or four) on one end. The fork, as an eating utensil, has been a feature primarily of the West, whereas in East Asia chopsticks have been more prevalent. Today, forks are increasingly available throughout East Asia. The utensil is used to lift food to the mouth or to hold food in place while cooking or cutting it.

  A spork or a foon is a hybrid form of cutlery taking the form of a spoon-like shallow scoop with three or four fork . Spork-like utensils, such as the terrapin fork or ice cream fork, have been manufactured since the late 1800s; patents for spork-like designs date back to at least 1874, and the word "spork" was registered as a trademark in the US and the UK decades later. They are used by fast food restaurants, schools, prisons, the military, and backpackers.

•  Pastry fork

  A pastry fork is a small fork designed for eating pastries and other desserts while holding a plate. It is typically designed so that it can be used with the right hand, while the left hand holds the plate. It therefore has the left side widened to be used like a knife to cut the food when pressed down on the plate. Left-handed pastry forks have the right side widened instead. Anna M. Mangin was awarded a patent on March 1, 1892, for a pastry fork for mixing pastry dough.

  A Splayd (plural 'Splayds') is a brand of single eating utensil combining the functions of spoon, fork, and knife, generically called a sporf. It was invented by William McArthur in the 1940s in Sydney, Australia.

The UK Licensee for manufacturing and distribution of "Splayds" was held by Viners of Sheffield during the 1970s.

•  Knork

  A knork is a hybrid form of cutlery which combines the cutting capability of a knife and the spearing capability of a fork into a single utensil. The word knork is a portmanteau of knife and fork. Typically, one or both of the outer edges of a fork-like utensil are sharpened to allow the user to cut their food. Several patents have been issues for designs of knorks, such as #RE9687 issued to Arthur W. Cox in 1881 and #1294031 issued to Henry J. Bigelow in 1919.
