Everyday Plastic Knork® 24 (Twenty Four) Pack by Knork® Flatware

The Knork® is an innovative knife and fork combo that is revolutionizing the dining experience! It combines the cutting ability of a knife with the spearing action of a fork, creating a unique utensil that is not only convenient-- it can function as an eating aid for individuals with limited hand mobility. Using the Knork®, food can be cut and lifted to the mouth using only one hand, rather than the two hands needed to operate a regular knife and fork.


The Patented Knork® Design:

The Head: The Knork's outer tines are beveled and rounded. These curved edges are able to cut through food but are not serrated or sharp to the touch. This makes the Knork® as safe to the mouth as a regular fork. The curved shape of the head allows it to be rocked back and forth, much like the motion of a rocking chair. It is the combination of the beveled edge with the rocking motion that gives the Knork® its remarkable cutting ability.

Side View of Finger Platform

The Finger Platform: When trying to cut food using the side of a regular fork, a painful "indentation" in the finger can result from pressing down on the narrow tines or handle. The Knork® has a smooth, enlarged platform located between the head and handle. This provides a comfortable surface for the finger to press down on and also reduces the amount of effort needed to rock the head back and forth.

Contoured Handle: The Knork® has an enlarged end that gives it enhanced balance, leverage and stability. It can be held comfortably in the palm of either hand.


Benefits:

Picnics, parties and potlucks can be difficult dining situtations when one hand must support the plate. The Knork's® one-handed operation makes things easier! It can be toted along for on camping trips, travel and to restaurants. In fact, this fork and knife combination utensil is being offered in some fast food chains and cafeterias to provide safe, enhanced cutting ability for their consumers. The Knork® is also easier for a child to use than a standard knife and fork, and does not have a dangerous sharp edge.

The Knork® is known as a helpful daily living aid for individuals with hand mobility limitations. People who would otherwise require that their food be cut for them gain more independence. This product can be easily taken along to restaurants, providing increased freedom of food choices.
