    That’s already how I use regular forks.

    That’s clearly not as easy to clean as a spork.

    If anyone is interested in admiral Nelson, or if you don’t know his epicness, then the 3 part documentary recreating 3 battles by Eric History and Drachinifel is incredible. Starting with Cape St Vincent then followed by the Nile, and Trafalgar

    You’re telling me the Vice Admiral of Her Majesty’s Navy can’t wrangle a spare able seaman to cut his food for him?

    What’s the point of the rotation adjustment on the knife? Adds complexity and cleaning challenge for seemingly little gain. Might be good for one hander I suppose, but unless knife is really sharp you generally benefit from stabilizing what you are cutting with a fork (for two handers at least.)

      I don’t think that’s a rotational adjustment. I think that’s to allow the blade to be removed for sharpening.

        Possibly, but actually seems like it might be easier to sharpen in situ and especially if it was forged into the design instead of screwed in. Maybe it’s just a tinkeres’ mod aka a prototype rather than a final design.

        How is it even possible to cut something with the blade without having to cut it with the fork first?
