Never need another utinsil, but I hope there is a doctor in the house when someone cuts their tongue open with that knife they stick in their mouth. Didn't their mothers ever teach them not to put a knife in their mouth?

Interesting thing... what about useless ?

how often do you use a knife without a fork in the other hand to hold what you're cutting? No only that, but if you want to use both the fork and spoon during your meal, you'll end up with a mess.

what next? some sort of chicken/beef combo steak?

Looks like an excellent way to flay your left cheek open.

I can't think of anything more appealing than having a serrated plastic knife edge slide along my cheek repeatedly during a meal. Although displaying it with the ocean in the background certainly makes it seem like a more attractive purchase.

I've got a pair of these (one for each hand, of course).

It is a study in compromises.

The fork is short and makes it difficult to really spear anything with. The knife is dull and is completely dependent on the serrations. If you use the fork with your right hand, the serrations are on the closer side of your mouth; but otherwise the knife would be backwards in your right hand.

Using the spoon is uncomfortable because you are holding pointy things in your hand. Using the fork is uncomfortable because the spoon is too bent.

It's a novelty item; but I would much rather have a titanium spork.

I came up with this idea years ago and also thought about the consequences about sticking the cutting part of the fork into the mouth. It ain't pretty.

My son's friend, Brad in Louisiana, has spoken of his 'invention' of this very same knifork....and everyone kidded him on this. I think anyone with ideas is at least creative to simple things that can be solutions when served only spoons or forks at a meal.....for example at picnics, on the boat, etc. I ordered several to pass out to the friends who have balked at his clever idea...Granted, it was always a discussion of 'cutting' one's mouth...
Good minds are out there....GO BRAD!!!!! You're not the only one who thinks this is a good idea!!!!
