Where on earth do they get the 'AYD' from?

Seems like spifk, sporf, or knorkoon might be more sensible.

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 26 points 11 months ago

I'm unsure if the original inventor is still alive for you to ask that question, but let us know the answer if you do get it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splayd

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would guess because it sounds kind of like blade just spelled differently

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, so we have SpoonBlade, but where's the Fork?

This checks out, mum gave me a set of splayds when I moved out of home and we're Australian. I love them but my fiance refuses to use them.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Your fiance knows neither taste nor balance.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago
[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

There's also this version

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

SPORFE

Much more accurate.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, I can at least claim that I can legitimately claim an oft-unused spot on this diagram through being one of the probably select few who has ever put an edge on a spoon.

Look, some of us have a brand to maintain, you know?

Also, perhaps now is a good time to dredge up this.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

I appreciate your service

[–] Jeraxus@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Why is there a "L" in splayd?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Or any of the letters after "L" for that matter...

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Spife up your life

[–] Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Does anyone know where I could get a knork and spife set? We're too lazy to grab a knife from the draw so just use the side of the regular utensils anyways

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The spife would be a grapefruit spoon

Knork has some possibilities though, I might have to prototype one with a Dremel.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Perennial camping-stuff manufacturer Light My Fire do indeed make a Knork, which is the first example that leapt to my mind. They may call it a "spork" but the fork end has a (butter-grade) knife edge machined into one side of it. As an added bonus, you get a whole entire unmolested spoon on the other end, too. Anyone who is cool enough to count would surely get the titanium version, which may just barely achieve enough rigidity to actually cut anything.

I used to have one but I lent it to somebody for a camping trip -- damned if I remember who -- and never got it back. Oh well.

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I use one of these to eat lunch at work without having to store/carry two utensils. I have never used the knife, but I do find the double sided spoon fork combo very useful, even if it does draw a little chiding from my coworkers.

[–] Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You didn't lend it to me, don't check. My fiancée found a couple of knorks in the same style, because she's long suffering. She flatly refused buying them for daily use though. Some people hate progress I swear. So I'm looking for dining table appropriate aesthetics, despite us not having a dining room table.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The knife is barely there because it's supposed to be a convenience thing. Anything tough means the pocket knife comes out.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And almost certainly so that uncoordinated users don't slice the insides of their cheeks.

"Do you wanna know how I got theses scars?! Google spife" roll credits

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

The knork is a dessert/cake fork.

Absolute legend. Know that you have introduced great joy into the world this day!

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I own multiple knorks. I like their balance and construction: https://a.co/d/drHe7uh

The knife does not mesh well with the others unless you enjoy cutting your mouth up. There's a reason we only have the spork.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

I argue that everything inside the knife circle is just a knife.

Except the Splayd, perhaps. Which is just a spork.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Don't bring a splayd to a spork fight.
