Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I like the modular approach

Fix bayonets!!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

That’s already how I use regular forks.

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

That’s clearly not as easy to clean as a spork.

I meant, if you are not into soup then why not.

Just needs a straw attachment…

If anyone is interested in admiral Nelson, or if you don’t know his epicness, then the 3 part documentary recreating 3 battles by Eric History and Drachinifel is incredible. Starting with Cape St Vincent then followed by the Nile, and Trafalgar

You're telling me the Vice Admiral of Her Majesty's Navy can't wrangle a spare able seaman to cut his food for him?

A gentleman cuts his own meat.

What's the point of the rotation adjustment on the knife? Adds complexity and cleaning challenge for seemingly little gain. Might be good for one hander I suppose, but unless knife is really sharp you generally benefit from stabilizing what you are cutting with a fork (for two handers at least.)

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't think that's a rotational adjustment. I think that's to allow the blade to be removed for sharpening.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Possibly, but actually seems like it might be easier to sharpen in situ and especially if it was forged into the design instead of screwed in. Maybe it's just a tinkeres' mod aka a prototype rather than a final design.

How is it even possible to cut something with the blade without having to cut it with the fork first?
