Talk:Knork

Old discussion

We could do with a bit more information. How about a picture or two? And no mention is made of what I know as the purpose of combined cutlery: to cater for people with disabilities who can use only one hand.

Many years ago I came across a different kind of knork: a knife with the end curved round to become a fork. (Should one kind be a knork, and the other a fife?) My mum also had a "sporfe" (spoon, fork, knife), which is basically the same as a splade. -- Smjg 14:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Knork is not a proper portmanteau! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.178.30 (talk • contribs)

Jay Leno had a knork headline on his show - 3/26/2007

It is quite common for street food vendors to use them. // Liftarn (talk)

In my opinion, the logo accurately represents a knork, and is also the logo of the company of the same name. Sithman VIII !! 19:53, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The logo does not actually look like a knork, even those produced by that company, so how does it "accurately represent" knorks in general? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree that the company logo (Image:knorklogo.jpg) does not belong here, as the article is not primarily about the company. -- Quiddity (talk) 21:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Obvious disadvantage

Why does this article avoid the obvious disadvantage of this design idea, namely the greatly increased likelihood of lacerating one's lips and tongue? — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 13:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Because the blade aspect isn't sharp enough to puncture flesh. ;) If someone made one with a "knife-edge", then they'd be fools (and sued!). -- Quiddity (talk) 00:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
