How can people chose without weighing them?
It probably says a lot about me to be able to articulate this, but it's 100% 3 because of the way the head has a low flare leading to a high taper. The others are all way too flat or round, save for 1, but it's out because the spaces between the tines terminate too high.
And no, I don't have a reason for this, it's entirely based on how I feel about forks.
Those all look horrible, mine's better, it kinda looks like it has the head of #2 and body of #5
All but 5 look like cheap crap and I don't like 5 for forks sake
Number 5, as a backup 2. Edit: I feel like 2 is too fat and 5 is too narrow. Somewhere in the middle.
5 nice and clean. No messing around. Hard to bend accidentally (I worry about that)
ADHD, don't care as long as it works.
Yup. Clean is the main thing though. I’ve forgotten my silverware for lunch and figured out some very interesting workarounds before.
tines of three, handle of five
The real answer is... chopsticks!
I hate all of them but many people seem to like number two, but that is decisively the worst. I literally just bought twelve forks from a discontinued line because I had a few of them and they are the best forks ever. There are few things better than a great fork.
I wish I did that. My flatware is outstanding but of course they discontinued it right after I got it. I’m down to 5 spoons 🙁 and the Replacements.com price is higher than they were new

I rank them in order of decreasing favorability: 3 5 4 1 2
I think 5
No, that's clearly a spoon shape.
Spork
- Every other choice is wrong.
What am I eating? Spaghetti is different from steak which is different from peas
Depends on the weight for me.
All those with cupped handles look light and need the cupping for structural support, but 5 is thick in the right way. The head is wrong, though.
All heads are wrong for me. Either to long vor thick. And 1 is to rectangly.
- But I'd still grab 5 just to watch the world burn.
5 because the handle isn’t a fucking nightmare and won’t be distracting to eating but also I have that exact set and only use the larger ones unless I am forced to use the smaller ones. I picked the set for these reasons.
of the ones losted? 2. However, have you considered wood fork?
