2 if I had to pick from that drawer, but the actual answer: Victorinox Swiss Classic / Swiss Modern cutlery. Absolutely love the large handles, sharp knives and large spoons. Very nice feel in hand and mouth.

Fat bottom forks you make the rockin world go round...

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

1 is just a funny goofy guy doing his job well not concerned about what the other forks think. I choose him.

2, if I wanted it to be round, I'd have grabbed a spoon.

[–] skye@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago
  1. 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.

Obviously depends on what you're about to eat

fork tierlist

S| 2
A| 3
B|
C| 4
D|
E| 1
F| 5

although, a non-metal handle would be better

[–] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

They are all OK. But I spent 7 years eating with a trident, so what do I know.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

5 is definitely the best. It offers a thicker handle edge for cutting and did not require a stamping bend on thinner material to add rigidity. The rounded head and outer tines serve two purposes. One it offers a smaller controlled side contact like the profile of a chef's knife that will focus more force at the contact point allowing for better contact with the plate and shearing more efficiently. Second, the rounded outer edge will fit the contour of a bowl allowing a fork to efficiently manage rice or other small items down to the last bite with nothing remaining. The larger outer tines and shorter overall length is also more durable and resistant to bending. It cost far more to make number 5 and the design functionality came ahead of the operations cost, and materials stock selection. All of the others were made according to the minimum number of forming operations and thin stock.

Long handle, long thin straight tines, large round pan so it fits nicely in your hand, 2 is basically the ideal fork

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

People who choose 4, are you doing okay? It's okay to seek help.

1 - the tines on it are plenty long and it's narrower than most of the others

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago
  1. The other handle shapes look awful
[–] sunnie@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

1s the best. 3 and 4 are acceptable, 2 and 5 are a crime. i dont get y'all

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

My partner has ADHD and autism and they swear by 5. That's IKEA's cheap fork and in our house I'm forced to use all the other forks (which are better so whatever). In their words: "all the other ones are too pointy". I don't fucking know.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 6 points 1 month ago

You cannot know the answer without seeing the underside of the forks. How will you know if they correctly conform to the curvature of your thumb and/or fingers.

One of the best gifts my partner got me was completing a set of cutlery I had grown to love via eBay and other random shops. How she found decade old stuff in mint condition is beyond me.

[–] farsinuce 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, not #2. The curved droplet-shaped handle seems inconvenient for spinning spaghetti around

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

So apparently I'm the only one that hates the long ass tines of 2 and prefers something like 1 or 4

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[–] ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Only #2. Having a consistent set of cutlery is priceless.

[–] fum@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[–] epique@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

1 and if we're being really picky I want the top of one and the handle from 5

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

#1 looks like it's for kids.

#3 & #4 aren't dry-fined enough.

A cross between #2 (weird end) & #5 (weird tip) would be perfect. In fact, I think mine at home is like that (on vacation right now so can't check).
