Old discussion[edit]

We could do with a bit more information. How about a picture or two? And no mention is made of what I know as the purpose of combined cutlery: to cater for people with disabilities who can use only one hand.

Many years ago I came across a different kind of knork: a knife with the end curved round to become a fork. (Should one kind be a knork, and the other a fife?) My mum also had a "sporfe" (spoon, fork, knife), which is basically the same as a splade. -- Smjg 14:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Knork is not a proper portmanteau! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.178.30 (talk • contribs)

Jay Leno had a knork headline on his show - 3/26/2007

It is quite common for street food vendors to use them. // Liftarn (talk)

Image[edit]

In my opinion, the logo accurately represents a knork, and is also the logo of the company of the same name. Sithman VIII !! 19:53, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The logo does not actually look like a knork, even those produced by that company, so how does it "accurately represent" knorks in general? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the company logo (Image:knorklogo.jpg) does not belong here, as the article is not primarily about the company. -- Quiddity (talk) 21:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Knork2.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

An image used in this article, File:Knork2.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

Obvious disadvantage[edit]

Why does this article avoid the obvious disadvantage of this design idea, namely the greatly increased likelihood of lacerating one's lips and tongue? — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ Contrib. 13:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because the blade aspect isn't sharp enough to puncture flesh. ;) If someone made one with a "knife-edge", then they'd be fools (and sued!). -- Quiddity (talk) 00:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
