Just when you thought eating utensils couldn't get any better, someone comes along and decides it's time to design an all new type of multi-purpose culinary tool.
That's just what London design firm Map set out to do when in partnered with U.K. department store Fortnum & Mason. Calling it the 'Tritensil,' this brand new spork blends together the fork, spoon and knife into a reimagined and arguably more efficient package.
Map set out to maximize efficiency when designing this brand new culinary tool and put in a ton of thought towards making sure that using the 'Tritesnil' is less awkward than your run of the mill all-in-one cutlery. They even made two different versions, with one for your right hand, and of course one for your left depending on preference.
