The present is now, old fella

They all have problems. If i have to pick any one of them its going to be 2, but i won’t be happy about it.

You don’t have to be neurodivergent to have an opinion about fork shapes. Also 2 is the best.

5 looking kinda shiny

What?

2. No discussion.

1. It’s balanced, not too sharp or long.

Nr. 2 is a no go, the thick butt is annoying af to put in a dishwasher cutlery basket. You need to think about these things.

The rest is fine and whatever.

I’m inclined to say 2, just for form and shape. But it looks to chunky. Like probably heavy af. So I’ll choose 3.

P.s. thanks for giving me a new thing I didn’t know was linked to my neurodivergence

When I got married, sitting down with the caterer and choosing between dozens of flatware types, I realized that I personally like three dimensional smoothness, with round, cylindrical handles that have some heft but not too much width. I also like cylindrical tines that don’t look like it was made from a flat sheet of metal cut and bent into shape (I prefer tines that are cylindrical, not rectangular prisms).

I also like curves along where the head meets the handle, and along the head itself. No sharp corners or edges.

I dislike ornamentation on the handle itself. I like plain, smooth handles.

I chose the forks for my wedding, and then later on in life, based on what I learned about my own preferences, I bought some flatware that fits those general principles (looks like the Sambonet Hannahs, but cheaper than that very expensive line), and replaced the ones in my house. Now I basically don’t have any forks that I don’t like.

Number 5, as a backup 2. Edit: I feel like 2 is too fat and 5 is too narrow. Somewhere in the middle.

2, assuming the broad pommel is a counterweight. If it’s flimsy lightweight material then none of them.

2 for hand feel alone

2 but its a bit big

The best fork for what?

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