Knork is an innovative knife and fork in one, ideal for use on a multitude of foods and by users with dexterity issues or other disabilities.
The Knork is a fork that features a bevelled edge along one side of the fork tines, which allows you to use it as a knife. By applying a rocking motion and pressure to the side of the Knork fork, you can cut through all different types of food with ease and without having to use a ‘sawing’ motion.
Safe and Gentle Design for Peace of Mind
The Knork’s bevelled cutting edge is carefully designed to be safe—unlike traditional knives, it’s not sharp enough to cut the inside of the mouth. This makes it a perfect choice for individuals with limited dexterity, offering peace of mind during mealtime. Plus, the Knork is safe enough for children to use, adding an extra layer of reassurance for families.
Ideal for One-Handed Use
Perfect for those with one hand available for eating, the Knork eliminates the need for multiple utensils. Its symmetrical design allows it to be comfortably used in either the left or right hand, providing versatility and ease of use, making mealtime much simpler.
Sleek, Discreet, and Non-Stigmatising
Thanks to its sleek, non-stigmatising design, the Knork looks just like standard cutlery. Whether dining at a restaurant or café, the Knork blends in seamlessly, so you can enjoy your meal with confidence, without drawing attention to your adaptive cutlery.
