Have you ever noticed an odd-looking fork with one prong that has a “chip” or clipped point? At first glance, it may seem like a manufacturing flaw or even damage from years of use. But if you spot this feature on multiple forks in your drawer, you’re looking at a clever design choice rather than a mistake.
This fork design, often referred to as a “cutting fork,” is meant to offer a bit more versatility at the dinner table. The “clipped” tine is actually a widened prong, slightly blunted at the end. This modification serves two functions: the extra width provides a slight cutting edge, making it easier to slice softer foods without needing a knife, while the clipped point prevents it from being too blunt to pick up food. The other tines remain pointed and narrow, allowing for precise spearing, just like a standard fork.
