This fork isn't stamped out of sheet steel. It appears to have been forged out of a round bar stock. For that alone, it receives high marks, despite the unconventional appearance.

8/10.

Limited usefulness because it's too narrow. Don't like the asymmetry. Appearance looks a little crude. I wouldn't want one. Tines seem overly sharp.

Probably good for getting olives out of jars.

I guess but I'd prefer a rational answer.

3.145183813819291837 isn't the beginning of π, it's just some random number that happens to also start with 3.14

Why TF is Lemmy's nerodiversity waypoints forks and bricks?

I mean, that's half of mine. How did we get here?

Edit: 2/10. I hate it, but it has heft.

Bricks? I've seen a surprising amount about utensils, but I think i missed the bricks.

Number five is number one. Number seven is number two. Number three and number four are tied for number three.

If I got it at Goodwill for $.10, 6/10 because obviously that's a manufacturing dud but I'll give it a good home and use it when all the other utensils are dirty.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this pathetic waste in some Michelin star restaurant pretending it's trendy and they wasted hundreds buying 200 for $15 each. In that case -5/10.

Nah the michelin waste should be higher because some rich asshole lost an investment and some chef got a dream job for a while.

I can not rate this based on this photo. It doesn't even show the complete fork. And how much does it weigh? Where's the banana for scale?

I like the 3 increasing gaps in the tines.

8/10 dessert fork conversation piece.

Also stealthy stabby. Might hide in a hidden emergency drawer.

3/10 Probably balanced OK and has a certain comfy weight in your hand. But the shape is , all by very distinct, no good at differentiating between handle and fork head. Function wise is the ability to poke food with the fork in question OK but could be improved. But the ability to scoop things up is lost with this fork, the head is just to small and to thick. And i personally hate the different dept oft cut in the forkhead.

4/10, not for the unique tines but for the bulbous and tapered handle. Not as comfortable to hold and use as your standard fork.

That looks like a fork at a restaurant where they try to convince you that this fork is better than a regular fork. With this fork, you get to experience the chefs childhood struggles growing up in poverty, withou proper tools to succeed in life. As you fumble around trying to scoop up your cashew foam and baked stick.

3/10 for the artistic expression
1/10 for the meal

8/10. -4 for unneeded weight, -3 for asymmetry making prongs short, +5 for actually sharp prongs. Looking at you, every other "fork" out there you.

2

8/10. While inneficient in material usage, its streamlined form and unique silhouette should make it easy to clean and find if one of the fam accidentally takes it home.

Doesn't matter what the scale is: it's still zero.

7/10

Would suck for most situations but would excel in a few specific situations

I am particular about forks and spoons, preferring they are thin and relatively straight - this fork looks too thick, but I don't mind how narrow it is

Something about the shape tells me this will be a 10/10 x-ray during an emergency room visit.
