Abstract: The present disclosure describes a utensil, which is essentially a combination of a knife and a spoon with modifications. While the knife portion of the utensil includes a blade, the spoon portion includes a convex scoop. The scoop and the blade are structurally combined and share a single handle. The scoop is a half convex and it is aligned with the blade side by side. The bottom of the scoop is flat, on the same plane as the bottom side of the blade. The end of the half convex merges smoothly with the cutting end of the blade. The current utensil is particularly useful for spreading cream, butter, or cheese. For instance, after cutting the bread with the blade, the spoon portion may be used for obtaining and disposing the butter on the bread piece, and the blade and spoon portions, as combined, may be used for the spreading process.

Abstract: It is a dual-end function eating utensil with one end serving as a choice for the user whether to use it or not. This eating instrument negates the need for the knife eating utensils in the “take-out” food industry. Most consumers utilizes the spoon specifically for the liquid consumption of their “take-out” meal and the knife is used in cutting solid food portions into smaller bites. Most of the time the knife are used in conjunction with the forks. Dual end utensils that have a exposed serrated end posed a problems with most consumers. The serrated end of a exposed knife is associated with the potential of getting hurt and most people avoid picking up any serrated end no matter what it is made of.

Abstract: A cooking utensil includes a body with a depressed portion, a handle extending from the body in a first direction, and a blade extending from the body in a second direction not parallel to the first direction. The body has a curved leading edge that is continuous with a lateral edge of the blade. The upper boundaries of the depressed portion of the body form a plane that makes a non-zero angle with the plane of the blade. A leading edge of the blade is sharpened to facilitate use of the utensil as a cleaver. In various embodiments, the orientation of the handle with respect to the body is modified in a number of ways to prevent interference with a side wall of a cooking container.
