Knork Flatware Knork Flatware has found a way to elevate the eat- ing utensil to an art form. The Knork incorporates critical alterations to the age-old fork design that enables a user to both cut and spear food with one utensil and without a sharp knife edge. Not only does Knork Flatware remove the need for the awk- ward steps that are unique to the American style of eating, but it combines cutting and piercing capa- bilities into a single modern, elegant package. The flatware's ergonomic design and balanced weight pleases both the hand and eye, while the finger platform provides more comfort with less effort. With simply pressing down on the finger platform and using a rocking motion, your food is cut to per- fection. There is nothing left to do but savor the fla- vors of each meal as nature intended. The Knork Flatware set provides additional Knork pieces for a full table presentation. The company is launching Knork flatware in color, with a matte black finish and a rose gold in 2014.
