Splayd

A splayd is an eating utensil which combines the functions of a spoon, knife and fork.

In addition to an overall spoon shape with four fork tines, it has two hard, flat edges on either side, suitable for cutting through soft food.

The UK licensee for the manufacturing and distribution of splayds during the 1970s was Viners of Sheffield.

[2] The splayd has medical uses, having been recommended as a solution for feeding difficulties following or during treatment of the arm[3] and being part of the (discontinued) Selectagrip system of utensils with customisable handles for people who have trouble using regular utensils.
