        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.

      Aesthetics - #5 is the obvious choice Handling/ grip comfort - #5 wins again Scooping/horizontal food retention - #5 with its slight bowl-shaped head Tine shape - #2 wins out for sheer uniformity

        Yea the other guys hate sparring with me because my hands are huge. It’s my cross to bare.

        But uh… 1’s tines are too tiny and squared off, so no. That ain’t gonna work on huge chunks of meat.

        A flared handle helps to distribute the load.

        With as many people saying 2 as there are, maybe you should rethink your scoring system.

    None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you’d find in a diner. Rounded outer tines is a crime against humanity. Did you maybe want a spork instead? 😡

      Agreed. 2 is the clear winner of this heat, despite the bad handle. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. All of their handles are lousy.

      5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.

      Here is the perfect fork:

            That’s how they are when first harvested from the fork-bush. Have to carefully separate the layers for each individual fork.

      It’s not a contest. Look at the contouring, elegant. Look at the polish, shining as bright as Versailles. The tong length has the perfection of a Swiss watch.

      Then the functionality- the flared handle provides the user with the comfort usually reserved for oil barons in hospice. The longer tongs serve as an homage to the engineers who brought humanity to the moon.

      Every other fork is merely a blight on the earth in comparison to this Adonis of cutlerian perfection.

        It’s not a combination of the names, it’s wordplay: “splayd” => “splay” (like splayed tines, to cover “fork”) + “spade” (a shovel, sharper than a spoon, which covers “knife” and “spoon”)
