People who choose 4, are you doing okay? It's okay to seek help.

2. The other handle shapes look awful

2 or 5

Glad to see my undiagnosed disorder is alive and well. #2 crew represent.

How thick are they?

I want to say 2 because longest fork depth, but 4 has that round mouth feel with still good fork depth without being too aggressive about the curvature like 5. The thicker outer prongs grip slippery/heavy food better too.

I'm going 4.

Also because 2 has that annoying fin. The worst forks do that, and also curve down. Hurts my hands, but I'm a giant with bear paws so YMMV.

5 looking kinda shiny

Some of y'all don't know about the yogurt test and it shows! 4 is the only correct answer.

5, easy

5, easy

2. But I'd still grab 5 just to watch the world burn.

None of them are usable. If I had to take one, number 3. All the others are a sin.

Edi: I must agree with others though, that the handle of 3 is very bad. Still, the shape of the head is more important to me.

For me it's 5 times the same fork 🤔

I like the one that doesn't have an unnecessary apostrophe.

I actually own the cutlery set that 5 is from. Because it was the best option at IKEA at the time.

5 is definitely the best. It offers a thicker handle edge for cutting and did not require a stamping bend on thinner material to add rigidity. The rounded head and outer tines serve two purposes. One it offers a smaller controlled side contact like the profile of a chef's knife that will focus more force at the contact point allowing for better contact with the plate and shearing more efficiently. Second, the rounded outer edge will fit the contour of a bowl allowing a fork to efficiently manage rice or other small items down to the last bite with nothing remaining. The larger outer tines and shorter overall length is also more durable and resistant to bending. It cost far more to make number 5 and the design functionality came ahead of the operations cost, and materials stock selection. All of the others were made according to the minimum number of forming operations and thin stock.

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.

1s the best. 3 and 4 are acceptable, 2 and 5 are a crime. i dont get y'all

All are bad. If I'd have to choose, it'll be in the order 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.

Hello. I like rusty spoons.

1, but these all suck ass.

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...

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

Came here thinking I'd be the odd man out by saying #2, I'm pleasantly surprised.
