A splade can be used if there is a problem with coordinating a knife and fork. very handy for people who have broken their hand or arm and excellent for people with certain manual difficulties
At even the best dinner parties a splade (an implement for both skewering a live crocodile and poking it in the eye for good measure and eating it once it has been cooked, this is the only time you will find a crocodile to be tender, but don't kiss it) combining a spoon, a fork, and a blunt blade) was used to load the food from lap to lip.
