2, and only 2.
2 is definitely the best-machined. Quality manufacturing right there.
Agreed, none of the others are balanced properly or have good flow. Number two is the only option.
Yep, number two is the best.
Give us a harder choice.
Dont you love when you stick your fork into a potato and end up cutting the fucker in half? Thats what these wide tines do.
Looks like 4 has wider tines… and a couple others.

I like 1.
5 is one of the worst things ever created
People who choose 4, are you doing okay? It's okay to seek help.
3 is even worse
1
2
- The other handle shapes look awful
5, 1, 3, 4, 2 but I don’t actually like any of them. I want the smallest functional fork available (generally around 15cm/6”)
None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you'd find in a diner. Rounded outer tines is a crime against humanity. Did you maybe want a spork instead? 😡
Agreed. 2 is the clear winner of this heat, despite the bad handle. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. All of their handles are lousy.
5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.
Here is the perfect fork:

I'll pick 1 as it looks the comfiest and I hate big forks.
- The handles on all the others except 5 are hideous but 5 has a really weird pointy bit
2
Only #2. Having a consistent set of cutlery is priceless.
The only valid choice is 3, I want the full weight of the fork to be the tongs so they don't knock cups over. 2 is TERRIBLE
I didn’t think there could be a wrong answer until I read this one…
Xp
I like none of them
2 No discussion, the weight, the smoothness, ist all about how they lay in the Hand.
It's about how they stack, I like a neat stack 👄
Fat bottom forks you make the rockin world go round...
You 2-people are insane. It's clearly fork number five.
Adding my voice to the 2 crowd.
Hard to say. It's 1 or 3.
2 has an annoying bulbous handle that upsets the balance and the tines take up too much of the fork space, leaving too little room for the little shovel bit at the back that can hold things that might fall through the tines a bit better,
5 is an utter nightmare of awful.
