Choose a number, 1-5!

How can people chose without weighing them?

2 and it's not close, 1 is the worst.

2 if I had to pick from that drawer, but the actual answer: Victorinox Swiss Classic / Swiss Modern cutlery. Absolutely love the large handles, sharp knives and large spoons. Very nice feel in hand and mouth.

Those all suck, this is the perfect fork.

They all lack thickness but 2

Number 2.
Long sensual tines, full round butt gives you something to hold on to.

2 for a meal, 5 for snacks and desserts

Long handle, long thin straight tines, large round pan so it fits nicely in your hand, 2 is basically the ideal fork

They are all OK. But I spent 7 years eating with a trident, so what do I know.

2 clearly

It's 2 and it ain't even close

fork tierlist

S| 2 A| 3 B| C| 4 D| E| 1 F| 5
although, a non-metal handle would be better

This feels like a reverse Avatar test for autism

2 is best. 5 is tolerable.

Fuck you & fuck this insulting post.

Number 2, obviously.

Definitely 2.

Handle of 5 with any other head 😭

I dont like any of them :(

4 has the best handle, 2 has the best fork

3 or 2-with-5's-handle

They all have problems. If i have to pick any one of them its going to be 2, but i won't be happy about it.

2, and only 2.
- Has a stupid handle
  
  Stupid but comfy. ☺️
- Dont you love when you stick your fork into a potato and end up cutting the fucker in half? Thats what these wide tines do.
  
  Looks like 4 has wider tines… and a couple others.
- Yep, number two is the best.
  Give us a harder choice.
- Agreed, none of the others are balanced properly or have good flow. Number two is the only option.
- 2 is definitely the best-machined. Quality manufacturing right there.
  
  5 looks well made too. I like a slightly sporked fork though.
- I was like this, then I saw the handle. That being said its still 2 but its very close and it could be better still like the 1 or 5 handle
- It is clear to me that the only explanation for your preference is nostalgia.
  
  I don’t understand. I think the handle would work best for my hands, and the prongs are just the right size for me.

You don't have to be neurodivergent to have an opinion about fork shapes. Also 2 is the best.

2, assuming the broad pommel is a counterweight. If it's flimsy lightweight material then none of them.

The present is now, old fella

Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

2.The crazies here who don't think that's the best head by so much that the handle doesn't matter, they scare me. No amount of bad handle can make up for how much I hate the rest of them

1 or 3. I cant stand forks with curved outer tines. 2 is good but i prefer a straight handle over a curved one. My preferance leans towards 3 though as 1 looks like it would have slightly sharp stamped edges.

Most efficient, can hold the most food, doesn't spread the food by wide sides which would get the food stuck

Handle of 5 + the fork of 3
- I am so on board with you
- The will of the people
- Exactly
- Aesthetics - #5 is the obvious choice Handling/ grip comfort - #5 wins again Scooping/horizontal food retention - #5 with its slight bowl-shaped head Tine shape - #2 wins out for sheer uniformity
  Final answer

Handle of 5, prongs of 3.

5 for me

None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you'd find in a diner. Rounded outer tines is a crime against humanity. Did you maybe want a spork instead? 😡
- Please skip to 1:59
- Agreed. 2 is the clear winner of this heat, despite the bad handle. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. All of their handles are lousy.
  5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.
  Here is the perfect fork:
  
  Handle needs some kind of texture, or else may become slippery.
  
  Allow me to introduce you to my favorite fork. I feel like yours would rotate in the hand while applying downward cutting force.
  
  Yup. I've never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don't think I had much of a choice.
  Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.
  The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I'll never forget it.
  
  Round handles don't let me know the rotation so hard pass from me.
  
  Damn, that is the most perfect fork I've seen, wow.
  Yeah I was gonna say 2's prong/head with 5's handle would probably be the best out of what's available in the OP image, but yours is... sublime, hah.
  
  Personally I don't like that handle either. Needs to be thicker.
  
  I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn't be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don't just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there's no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn't have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn't either. It should also not be that flat, so it's nicer to grip.
  Once I move out of my parents house, I'm definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I've ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it's not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it's nice to grip. I don't understand how people who design things like this just don't think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?
  
  This is the cutlery I have!
  What's it called? I need more!
