Abstract: A hand forged metal eating utensil comprising a fulcrum, an eating end and a handle with the fulcrum having a raised protrusion disposed between the eating end and the distal end of the handle and having a large cross-sectional thickness and with the eating utensil further comprising a first curvilinear portion located adjacent a side of the fulcrum extending toward the eating end of the utensil for elevating the height of eating end of the utensil such that the eating end is not able to make physical contact with a table surface when the utensil is placed on a level table surface and a second curvilinear portion extending from an opposite side of the fulcrum extending toward the distal end of the handle and with the eating utensil having a variable thickness from the eating end to the distal end of the handle such that the eating utensil forms a continuous seamless cross sectional geometry and provides enhanced handling comfort.
