    I am aware that there is a deep-rooted tradition connecting academic life… with a certain affection for the bottle and the knife and fork. (J. Wain, ‘Strike the Father Dead’, part I, ‘Alfred’) — я знаю, что университетские преподаватели… отличаются особым пристрастием к еде и питью; это глубоко укоренившаяся традиция.

    My digestion is much impaired, and I am but a poor knife and fork. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Bleak House’, ch. XLV) — У меня не в порядке желудок, поэтому я стал плохо есть.

knork
noun

— a piece of cutlery, used as both a knife and a fork

YourDictionary


ORIGINS

The word knork is a blend of knife and fork. Typically, one or both of the outer edges of a fork-like utensil are sharpened to allow the user to cut their food.

Also known as a Nelson fork, after Admiral Horatio Nelson who used this type of cutlery after losing his right arm during the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797.


Other weird blends in this category are:

— sporf = a combination of  a spoon, a knife and a fork
— spork or foon = a spoon-like shallow scoop with two to four fork tines
— spife = a combination of a spoon and of a knife

The etymology of the word “cutlery” comes from the Old French word “coutelier” (knife) and is first documented in 1297, in Sheffield, England.

“I’ve ordered Jim’s birthday present from Amazon, it’s a KNORK.”

Hi all,

Let me ask a question about how to use article in the case of knife, fork and spoon?

Suppose you are visiting a Japanese restaurant, where chopsticks are often used to eat food, and that you can’t use chopsticks.

What would you most likely say to ask for knife and fork? Would it be like «Can I have knife and fork?» or «Can I have

a

knife and fork?»

In addition, if you want a spoon as well, would it be like «Can I have knife and fork, and a spoon?» or «Can I have a knife, a fork, and a spoon?»

Thanks. :)

    • #2

    If I were in this situation, I would say:

    «May I have a knife and fork, please» AND
    «May I have a knife, fork and spoon, please»

    • #3

    Thanks Dmcl. I appreciate your help. :)

    If I were in this situation, I would say:

    «May I have a knife and fork, please» AND
    «May I have a knife, fork and spoon, please»

    Can I assume «a» here has a function similar to «a set of»? Or is it just a preference for conciseness?

    • #4

    Thanks Dmcl. I appreciate your help. :)

    Can I assume «a» here has a function similar to «a set of»? Or is it just a preference for conciseness?

    Yes, I think that’s how it reflects in my mind. Frankly, in a Japanese restaurant with the inability to use chopsticks, I’d just say «May I have some cutlery please?».:)

    • #5

    Yes, I think that’s how it reflects in my mind.

    Thanks Dimcl. You mean both of the following are valid?: «a» here has a function similar to «a set of»

    AND

    it is because of preference for conciseness.

    Thanks Dmcl. I appreciate your help. :)

    Can I assume «a» here has a function similar to «a set of»? Or is it just a preference for conciseness?

    If I understand your question correctly, I wouldn’t. If I’m asking for a set of knives, forks and spoons, I would say «May I have some knives, forks, and spoons, please?» or «May I have a set of knives, forks and spoons, please?»

    • #7

    Thanks tomandjerryfan. I appreciate your help. :)

    If I understand your question correctly, I wouldn’t. If I’m asking for a set of knives, forks and spoons, I would say «May I have some knives, forks, and spoons, please?» or «May I have a set of knives, forks and spoons, please?»

    Probably, I shouldn’t have used the word «set» in the first place, which seems to have been a bit misleading, I guess.

    Let me try to explain what I meant to say:

    When you eat something, you need some cutlery, which are often a knife, fork and spoon in the US, right?

    Especially when you eat beefsteak, you need more than a knife or a fork, you need both knife and fork, right?

    I guessed that Dmcl used «a knife and fork» instead of «a knife and

    a

    fork» because knife and fork are considered kind of «a kit», which might be the word I should’ve used instead of «set»????

    By the way, to make my question a lot more simpler, let me ask this way: Why would you say «a knife and fork» instead of «a knife and

    a

    fork»; «a knife, fork and spoon» instead of «a knife,

    a

    fork and

    a

    spoon»?

    • #8

    May I have a knife and fork?
    May I have a knife, fork, and spoon?

    • #9

    Thanks mjscott. I appreciate your help. :)

    If possible, could you also tell me why you would say «a knife and fork» instead of «a knife and

    a

    fork»; and «a knife, fork and spoon» instead of «a knife,

    a

    fork and

    a

    spoon»?

    The phrases «a knife and fork» or «a knife, fork and spoon» are standard collocations. Inserting additional articles would be unusual — singling out each item for explicit emphasis.
    In other words, I think I am agreeing that a «knife and fork» is a kit of tools for eating, rather as a «hammer and chisel» might be used for stonework, or a «bucket and spade» to play in the sand.

    Thanks panjandrum. I appreciate your help. :)

    I agree that «a knife and fork» is like a single unit, the two things belong together.
    I would ask for «a knife and fork» or «a knife and fork and a spoon».
    I would pronounce it «nife ‘n’ fork».
    «Could I have a knife ‘n’ fork please?»
    «Could I have a knife ‘n’ fork and a spoon please?»

    Thanks liliput. I appreciate your help. :)

    Hello.

    I have learned that the words such as a needle and thread, a cup and saucer, and a knife and fork can be used one item and these are used with one article.
    But when I treat these as two items, I should use an article before noun respectively. Am I right? If so, I can’t distinguish especially in case of ‘a knife and fork’.

    1a. We eat with a knife and fork. b. I bought a knife and a fork.

    I think both are correct. Then, only when I eat food, should I use only one article like 1a? In other cases, should I use an article respectively like 1b?

    Thank you always~.

    Yes, both are correct. Do not forget, «a/an» can mean «one».
