Knork® Single Pack by Knork® Flatware

Featured on Food Network®!

The Knork® is a fork and knife combination utensil that is revolutionizing the dining experience! It allows food to be cut easily and lifted to the mouth using only one hand, instead of the two-handed operation needed for a regular knife and fork. While very convenient in everyday dining situations, the Knork® can be especially helpful as a hand mobility product.


The Patented Knork® Design:

The Head: One major difference between the Knork® and a standard fork is the shape of the outer tines. They are beveled and curved, forming a cutting edge that is not serrated or sharp to the touch. In fact, the Knork® is as safe to the mouth as a regular fork. The rounded edges allow the head to be rocked back and forth. The motion is very much like that of a rocking chair.

Side View of Finger Platform

The Finger Platform: Another key design element is the smooth, enlarged platform underneath the tines. Using a regular fork to cut tougher foods can leave painful "indentations" in the finger, caused by pressing down on the thin handle or the tines themselves. It is also very difficult or impossible to cut foods such as meats or chewy breads. The Knork's finger platform provides a smooth surface to press down on and reduces the effort needed to rock the tines back and forth. The rocking motion, combined with the curved head, gives the Knork® its amazing cutting ability. It is able to cut tougher foods such as vegetables, pizza, meats-- even steaks.

Cuts Through Many Types of Food

Contoured Handle: An enlarged, rounded end gives the Knork® superior leverage, balance and stability. It can be held comfortably in either the right or left palm.


Benefits:

This combination fork knife has a myriad of everyday uses. It takes the difficulty out of picnics, parties and potlucks-- dining situations where one hand is occupied in holding the plate. It can be brought along on camping and hiking trips as a space-saving and safer alternative to a standard knife. Busy new mothers will find it helpful when trying to have a quick meal while nursing. It is also easier for a child to use than a regular fork and knife.

The Knork® can be implemented as an eating aid for people with limited hand mobility, from temporary injuries to permanent conditions such as severe arthritis and hemi-paralysis. It is used in rehabilitation centers and hospitals around the country. People who would otherwise require that their food be cut for them-- or else limit their meal choices-- can gain increased independence and freedom by using the Knork®.

Product Description:

The Glossy finish has an additional charge. It is perfect to tote to work, restaurants-- even campsites! All three finishes are made from 18/10 stainless steel, which is the very highest quality of stainless steel available. The numbers refer to an 18% chromium and 10% nickel content.
