I can't eat with regular forks they are funky and don't work - it's a better fork. Next time you go to a restaurant watch how many people tip their forks on their sides to cut through foods. It's genious!! Knorks are great! I can't eat with regular forks they are funky and don't work - it's a better fork.

By the 70s they were considered to be incredibly daggy and no one would admit to having them.

He told me they are navy forks. They are a result of a sailing philosophy that states, "One hand for the ship and one hand for yourself." Using a knife and fork required two hands for one's self.

She's been eating with this kind of utensil since then - it's much easier than trying to use both a knife and a fork to cut something with only one hand.

They may have added serrations, probably less than a butter knife, but I really doubt they would make it *sharper.* I know I would injure myself on such a thing.

It seems like it would be dangerous to make the handle sharp, but the tines would be even worse! Man, I need to click through, because I can't tell what makes this a knork at all.
