This is a spork. I bought it several years ago on a trip to Toronto in one of those nifty shops on Queen St. West. A total disappointment! It wasn't a case of "what was I thinking." I knew exactly what I was thinking; I was thinking it was a neat idea to combine a spoon and fork on one utensil and have it look so nice. It does not work as a spoon – much too shallow. It does not work as a fork – tines too short and on the wrong angle.
If I had bought if for a dollar at a garage sale it soonest would have been donated back to a church sale with the hope someone would not be as critical picky particular as I. But I had bought it in a Queen St West store that looked like it cared about people who were particular and it cost far more than a dollar so it was put in the silverware drawer and has been there ever since.
These are sporknis *. I came across the first one at a garage sale here in Victoria and the seller said it was spoon, fork, knife all in one. Well! It fit so nicley in the hand both in spoon position, fork position and knift position that I asked where she had gotten it. A local shop.
When I got it home and found out just how well it worked I got three more. Googled Light My Fire. A fun web page; discovered they are made in Sweden, designed by a J. Nordwall, and there was a titanium version. It came in the mail today.
* LMF calls them Sporks. Heck, they are sporknis.
