Picking up takeout food traditionally means having to use [disposable cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-dispenser), which is something the 'Forkanife' reusable cutlery set aims to help completely change. The cutlery set packs a fork and a knife into an impossibly compact case that's so slim it can even be [stored securely in a wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner-titanium-edc-wallet) to keep it on hand for meals out of the house. The cutlery is TSA-compliant and is even crafted from more than 50% recycled materials to make it a very eco-friendly option for consumers to pick up.

The 'Forkanife' reusable cutlery set addresses increasing concerns surrounding single-use plastics and the growing demand amongst consumers for products that can be used continuously instead of being simply thrown away after use.
