Meet the Cutting Fork – A Fork That Doubles as a Knife
The cutting fork — sometimes called a “slicing fork” or “steak-and-pasta fork” — is a dining utensil with three long, pointed tines and one short, broad, slightly blunted prong.
But that “chipped” look?
The wide, flattened tine is sharpened along the edge, allowing you to:
Cut through tender foods — like fish, soft meats, pasta, or cooked vegetables
Hold food in place while slicing
Eat with just one hand — no knife needed
It’s the ultimate two-in-one tool — especially for casual meals, picnics, or when you’re trying to eat neatly at your desk.
Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of forks.
How It Works – The Smart Design Behind the Slice
Here’s how to use it:
Spear your food with the three long tines — they hold it steady
Use the wide, flat tine like a mini blade — press and saw gently
Cut and eat — all with one utensil
Perfect for:
Spaghetti and meatballs
Grilled salmon
Chicken salad
Omelets
Soft ravioli
No switching between fork and knife.
No awkward sawing with a butter knife.
Just smooth, efficient eating.
