Combines knife and fork functions

A combination lightweight fork and knife that can be used with either hand. When pushed down onto food, the fork retracts up inside the three-sided box knife. The knife then cuts a bite-sized piece of food. When pressure is released, the spring-mounted fork extends past the knife with the food. A raised lip guard on the fork section protects lips from the knife edges. May be disassembled for cleaning. Measures 8 3/4" long x 1 1/4" wide (222x32 mm).
