All of them have a flat handle. My personal preference is for a cylindrical handle. Heavier and easier to hold. Flat cutlery that looks like it was stamped out of sheet metal won’t do at all.
Choose a number, 1-5!

Also when the tines have like sharp corners from the stamping — ick. I’m not a machine, sir. Please do be keeping ur industrial design away from my mouth. ;x

Only #2. Having a consistent set of cutlery is priceless.

1 is the one you leave in the drawer till it’s the last one or use for stuff you don’t want to risk your other forks for…

None of these, I refuse to use forks, only sporks.

Add-on question: when using a fork, do you put the points on the plate (or stab a piece) and then use your knife to push food onto the downward curve of the tines (I would say the back but that’s because I don’t do this) and lift it points-down?
Or do you carry food on the concave curve of the tines (as well as stabbed on the points of course) and lift it points-up?
This is cultural, neither is incorrect, but it might affect your choice of fork.

Depends on the food tbh. If it would fall out using the coop method then I point down and push it into the tines.
Peas: point down and mash into tines
Mashed potatoes: scoop 'em
Steak: points down to stab

Whether you switch hands or keep it entirely in your left
What about me who just keeps it in my right

Use a kwhat? Fork and plate alone so you don’t have additional items to wash.
angrystego@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m doing it the latter way. I chose 1.
oppy1984@lemm.ee 2 days ago
Came here thinking I’d be the odd man out by saying #2, I’m pleasantly surprised.

4 looks better balanced and crafty enough. 5 looks like a dessert fork

- The handles on all the others except 5 are hideous but 5 has a really weird pointy bit
Spider89@lemm.ee 1 day ago
1, 4
DesolateMood@lemm.ee 2 days ago
2 is such an obvious answer
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
5 and I know this because it’s the fork that lives in my room at all times because it’s my favorite fork and I don’t like when someone else dirties it or misplaces it. It’s my desk fork. Always ready for leftovers or door dash. It’s the perfect fork.
Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
2 and 3. 1 and 5 are too short, they’re last resort shit
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
1 feels like home, 4 and 5 is too fancy, 2 just feels right enough to stab at my enemy.
I choose 2.

Sure, if shiny sporks are your thing.

ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Those all look horrible, mine’s better, it kinda looks like it has the head of #2 and body of #5
tehWrapper@lemmy.world 2 days ago
2 or 5
Opisek@lemmy.world 1 day ago
None of them are usable. If I had to take one, number 3 or maaaaybe number 1 instead if 3 doesn’t feel good. All the others are a sin.
