nice to touch, bad to use. don't need utensils sliding around in my hands!
Very close to the utensils I had in the army. Where's the damn spoon?
550€ is the money that they give to me if I can finish a meal using that "fork"?
NOPE
Depends if any of the edges dig into skin when trying to use.
I bet the people that like this design also think horizontal Wii remote is comfortable.
0/10
I like my silverware to have the handles easily distinguishable from the heads/blades. Also, "handle" design is way too boring for me.
I reflexively downvoted this the moment it appeared on my feed
I think a lot of people voted like…
I know I did. Very much a "Thanks I hate it" post
At first... I want.
Then I look closer... indented writing on the handle! NO!
NO!
Ruined a great idea. With sensory torment. Just what's not needed when eating... sensory processing disorder triggering. Cannot digest food under that much stress. Defeats point of cutlery. This is bad design. Not for the straight wide indistinguishable neck, but for the non-smooth handle. It's like electric ants crawling up the nerves.
NO.
I'm not entirely sure if I am part of the team, but for sure I'm part of the group that hates this.
One slip and you're finger are on the sharp end
Not officially on the team, but the knife has a pretty dangerous design: you can't immediately visually distinguish the blade from the handle, also in slippery conditions if you're pushing the knife your fingers slide immediately from the handle to the blade. The fork is eh, but the width of the handle makes it very hard to spin in your hand, so it would be bad for eating long pasta like spaghetti.
That would be a problem if the knife was sharp, but you can immediately tell that knife is as blunt as a beach ball.
You can cut yourself with a blunt edge as long as it is rigid and applied enough friction.
Trust me, I did it 😖
Melt em down, try again.
... either that or put them in an 'anti human art exhibit', along side the minimum wage machine that cranks out a penny every couple of minutes, and ... a modern budget airline seat.
Someone please build this machine!
It takes a 2€ coin, as you crank the wheel it spits out 1ct in the front and a 100€ bill drops out the back into a vault you can look into but not access.

Ah, I guess I thought this was more widely known about... this is what I was referencing, already been built.
But do go and build your variant as well!
I had no idea, very cool, thanks for sharing
Just sharing my two cents lol.
its like those twin popsicles
"Twinpops" those and the generic sleeve of sugar water are mechanic staples, you can get about a thousand for 30 dollars and they don't seem to have crazy sweeteners that make you poop outrageous if you eat one too many.
I got tine for that
0/10. Horrible.
This is the sort of thing that your most pretentious relative buys, invites the family over for dinner, then spends the whole time fishing for compliments.
"I like the added challenge of your fork constantly slipping from my grip. It's so cool how you found one of our most basic tools, and made it as challenging as it is ugly."
The title of this art piece is 'performative starvation'.
Oh, I thought the opposite. Only time I see cutlery lacking shape is for cost-cutting. Rare to see disposable cutlery come in steel.
Wow is that all it took to make the abolitionist principles leave my body?
(As non functional items I appreciate the aesthetic but looking at them and picturing how they feel makes me want to vomit)
"Stylized apocalyptic"
I love it so much I need the full name and address of the person who made this, including if they have security cameras, where their blind spots are, and if they arm their home security when they go to bed.
To give them hugs, right?
Lol "team tism" doesn't work so well in an australian context since TISM is an anonymous art-rock band known for songs such as "I'm on the drug (that killed river phoenix)" and "You're a wanker".

Does anyone know what these are called? I legitimately want to buy a set for my frenemy.
I thought you said "for my family" for a second and was getting ready to report you to CPS.

@ickplant Very close to the "Arne Jacobsen" tableware featured in "2001 a Space Oydessy". Do I win anything for remembering obscure tableware from 50 years ago? 😜

Amazing memory! You win this set of convenient and attractive pan holders:
Definitely ATBGE material here; the stitches are so clean
