Knork® 5 (Five) Piece Flatware Set
As seen on Food Network®!The innovative, patented Knork® is the first product to revolutionize the dining experience in 1000 years! The Knork® is much more than a combination fork and knife. It improves upon both for an eating utensil that is a valuable daily living aid. Food can be cut and lifted to the mouth using only one hand, rather than the two-handed operation needed for a knife and fork.
The Patented Knork® Design:The Head: The Knork's outer tines are beveled and curved. These edges are capable of cutting through foods, but are not serrated, sharp to the touch or injurious to the mouth. The curved shape allows the Knork's head to be rocked back and forth, much like the motion of a rocking chair. It can be used equally well with either the right or left hand.

The Finger Platform: Another key factor in the Knork's ability to cut through foods is its enlarged platform just under the tines. When attempting to cut foods by pressing down on the side of a standard fork, oftentimes the effort leaves painful "indentations" in the finger. When using the Knork® the finger rests on the platform comfortably. The platform reduces the effort needed to rock the head back and forth. As a result, the Knork® can cut through tougher foods such as vegetables, meats, pizza-- even steaks.

Contoured Handle: The Knork® has an enlarged end for stability, balance, leverage and comfort when held in either the right or left palm.
Benefits:The Knork® is excellent in dining situations such as parties when only one hand is available to operate eating utensils. Busy new mothers will find it a lifesaver when trying to have a quick meal while nursing. It is also safer for a child to use than a knife and fork.
The Knork® is known as a highly effective daily living aid for individuals with limited or no use of one hand. For this reason, it has been implemented in rehabilitation centers and hospitals around the country. People who would have to have their food cut for them or limit their choice of foods gain greater independence and freedom.
