->''"A fight to the death... this spoon shall be our only weapon!"''
-->-- '''Nine the Phantom''', ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCentralFiction''

Among the many kinds of ImprobableWeaponUser, the weapon of choice for someone who devotes their life to food may be the tools everyone uses to eat with.

A character who uses a common eating utensil - like a fork, a table knife, or even a spoon - to fight off their enemies may be the mark of a SupremeChef who's been pushed a little too far, or a LethalChef who is as lethal outside of the kitchen as they are inside of it. It may as well be part of the fighting style of the ChefOfIron, whose armaments may also include various cutlery, the FryingPanOfDoom and even [[FoodFight food itself]]. Alternately, if chaos breaks out at the dinner table, a diner may have to get creative with what they have on hand, turning their utensils into an ImprovisedWeapon.

Normally played for laughs (especially if there's SwordSparks), but if the [[StealthPun chips]] [[LetsGetDangerous are down]], things can get pretty ugly: this can lead to [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon sickeningly devastating effect]] in the hands of someone skilled/determined enough.

While large forks have certainly been used as polearms - Website/{{Wikipedia}} has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_fork an article on military forks]] - this trope is about characters who use dinner forks, butter knives, and the like as personal weaponry.

Subtrope of ImprovisedWeapon. Compare FryingPanOfDoom, which is about cookware being used as a weapon. Might occur in a FightForTheLastBite.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', the TropeNamer. The first episode of ''Slayers NEXT'' has Gourry and Lina literally ''fork-fencing'' at super speed over the ''last bits of food on the table''. Neither of them end up getting it, as a fight breaks out in the tavern and their table is knocked over. Lina's response? [[BerserkButton Well...]] This is justified two-fold: First, both of them are notorious [[BigEater Big Eaters]]. Second, the party has a tradition where the person who eats the least has to pick up the tab.
* Fighting over food is common for media from Japan, where meals are traditionally served in communal plates. For example, in ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' Vash and Wolfwood fight over an enormous plate of spaghetti during the course of an argument.
* Sebastian uses silverware as weaponry in ''Manga/BlackButler''. Then again, he is a BattleButler (and a demon), so he can do some pretty wicked things with tableware. By which we of course mean using them as throwing knives and taking on [[spoiler:an angel]] by holding them as WolverineClaws.
* While Kenshiro of ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' doesn't use any forks, his incarnation in ''Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky'' uses a whole bunch of them to take out a bunch of evil gangsters who were viciously mistreating his [[SwornBrothers sworn brother]]. And in the anime adaptation of the manga, he uses Kenshiro's famous {{Kiai}} for the [[RapidFireFisticuffs Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]] ("AHHHHTATATATATATATATATATATATA!") from the previous series while he's throwing those forks. Or in the French GagDub, the infamous "Hokuto de cuisine".
* ''Anime/{{Noir}}'': Kirika Yuumura is a master with {{Improvised Weapon}}s and has killed people with forks, including [[spoiler:Chloe with the same silver dessert fork that Kirika gave her as a present earlier in the series]].
* ''Manga/Reborn2004'' The [[spoiler:Vongola IV]] used a fork as his main weapon.
* In ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', second season, Hei uses a knife to pin the hand of a [[spoiler:government official]] to the table, preventing him from setting off a bomb. A bit squickier than you'd think, since he jams it in ''sideways,'' rather than lengthwise as you'd expect.
* ''CLAMP in Wonderland 2'' has a scene between Fuma the anti-Christ and Kamui, the Christ figure, duking it out over a stolen waffle... with spatulas!
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** In the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts martial arts dining]] story arc in the manga, Sōun and Genma duel with forks.
** In an episode of the anime, Shampoo uses forks as projectiles, catching Ukyō in a KnifeOutline.
* In the first episode of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', Rosette attacks the Elder with silverware when he [[DirtyOldMan sneaks a peak up her dress]]. The dub even adds a line of her threatening to "kill you with this spoon!!"
* Miharu Shimizu, the PsychoLesbian of ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'' attacks the lead character with throwing forks for daring to lust after the target of her affections.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has the Straw Hat Pirates' chef, Sanji,[[ExtremityExtremist only fighting with his legs and feet]] because he saves his hands for cooking. He also believes that kitchen knives should only be used on food. The one time he broke this rule was when he fought with kitchen knives, though Sanji let that slide because his opponent was wearing armor made out of [[ItRunsOnNonsensium ramen]]. [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman You do the math.]]
* While not technically real kitchenware, ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'s'' Fork and Knife counts.
* In the ''Anime/DragonballZ'' movie ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'', Beerus fends off all of the heroes very nonchalantly with a pair of chopsticks. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]] he would actually have used a fork (or spoon), but the film's animation director thought it would have been too difficult to fight like that and changed it to chopsticks.
* In part six of ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'', when Shiki goes undercover at Reien Academy and has to leave her signature knife behind, it takes her a whole of one scheduled meal to spirit away a table-knife. Given how this is the BreatherEpisode, however, she barely gets to actually used it for the rest of the episode.
* The ''Manga/DigimonXrosWars'' manga has a number of [[AnthropomorphicFood Shortmon]] brandishing giant dinner forks in preparation for battle. Any actual fighting that they do is off-panel, though.
* In ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'', Shigure is told not to use bladed weapons against a group of attackers [[LudicrousGibs for obvious reasons]]. So she slices apart their weapons with a wooden rice spoon.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Card Games]]
* An obscure card game, ''Let's Kill!'', has one of these as a murder weapon. "You really have to put your back into it."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comedy]]
* Ed Byrne once joked that banning things like nail clippers on planes was unnecessary, since he was certain that another individual armed with a pair of tweezers could probably take it back, commenting "There's a duel I'd like to see".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Near the climax of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', Veidt uses a fork to pin Rorschach's sleeve to a table. Rorschach pulls it free and tries to attack him with it, only for Veidt to block it without turning his head.
* [=WildStorm=]'s ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' has a scene where Jason kills a guy by stabbing him in the face with a two-pronged grilling fork.
* In ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book adaptation of "The Clockwork Smurf", both Clockworks fight each other with silverware -- the fake Clockwork with a fork and knife, and the real Clockwork with a spoon.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', Calvin magnificently won a fork duel with a greenish, seemingly gelatinous glob of something that was supposed to be food, before the thing cheated and used a spoon to run him off by lobbing pieces of itself at him. In his further defense, ''he'' was the one who said they should call out for pizza to begin with.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* There are two sequences in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'' where [[ImprobableChopsticksSkill chopsticks are used as weapons]]. The second scene is important for Po's character growth as it shows that he has trained hard enough not just to be a kung fu master in his own right but also not to eat when he's stressed.
* In the final scene of ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'', the hero uses a serving fork as an ImprovisedWeapon. Note that his enemy is using ''a scimitar''.

* In the Brandon Lee vehicle ''Film/RapidFire,'' Lee's character beats a couple of corrupt FBI agents who are planning on killing him to unconsciousness and death... with a ''kitchen.''
* In ''Film/RichieRich'', Cadbury is attacked by a knife-wielding bad guy. He tries to grab something to defend himself, fumbles with an armful of metal implements, and ends up with... a spatula.
* In ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'', Don Diego challenges Alejandro to a duel...with a spoon. In reality, he's demonstrating that the next "weapon" he'll teach Alejandro to use is ''class''.
* During the training montage in ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', Kim and Trini have a humorous bout over the last piece of a donut.
* In ''Film/SurfNinjas'', Adam is using his UsefulNotes/GameGear to dictate how a series of fights inside a restaurant should go (he's psychic with it; long story). When the mysterious eye-patched Zatch is about to engage with a mook, Adam has Zatch pull out a pair of chopsticks because they're worth the most points of his options; Zatch swiftly counters the mook's attack on him with a thrust of the sticks up against his nose, then flings him over his shoulder into a folding screen.

[[folder:Literature]]
* Vimes' butler Wilikins in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''. In ''Literature/{{Night Watch|Discworld}}'', Vetinari, an Assassins' Guild student at the time, effortlessly catches thrown fruit on his fork. Without looking up from his book.
* At the end of ''[[Literature/ThePrincessSeries The Stepsister Scheme]]'', Tali - AKA 'Sleeping Beauty' - fights a TROLL using a knife-and-fork set. The twist being that she just grabbed that silverware off the table of a powerful member of TheFairFolk, and as such, they're magical enough to penetrate the troll's defenses. End result: The troll goes down with a table-knife in his throat.
* Literature/CalLeandros starts stabbing his friend Robin with a fork, repeatedly, after a case of amnesia.
* ''Literature/AConfederacyOfDunces'' features a fight between Ignatius J. Reilly and Clyde, his boss at Paradise Vendors (pushing around a [[MobileKiosk hot dog cart]]), in which Clyde uses the long, two-pronged fork he uses to prepare the hot dogs and Ignatius uses the plastic sword that is part of his pirate costume. [[RuleOfFunny Yes]].
* Perry Dawsey in Scott Sigler's novel ''Literature/{{Infected}}''. "Fork you, buddy."
* In ''[[Literature/InheritanceCycle The Fork, The Witch, and the Worm]]'', Murtagh finds himself in a fight without a weapon. He enchants a fork with a spell to prevent it from breaking, uses it to defeat sword-wielding mercenaries, and then presents it to a young girl so that she can keep it to defend herself when needed. (She names it "Mister Stabby.")
* A character gets slashed to death with a razor sharp fork in ''[[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Dreamspawn]]''.
* Mahiro and his mom utilize forks in ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' to keep Nyarko, Cuuko, and Hasta in check if they start acting up too much. Keep in mind that the former two are ordinary humans and the latter three are {{Eldritch Abomination}}s from the ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos''.
* Tyrion Lannister uses this early in the first book of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' to annoy a particularly humourless member of the Night's Watch. When the knight leaves in a huff, Tyrion claims his share of dinner.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* In ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', Malcom and Reese duel with their forks over the last piece of meat in one opening. Then it falls on the floor. Then the two just scramble to the floor wrestling over it.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** In the episode "[[Recap/AngelS05E02JustRewards Just Rewards]]", Angel kills the villain's butler with a spoon. By throwing it at him so hard it lodges in his forehead. Spike is appropriately incredulous.
--->'''Spike:''' A ''spoon''?! That's just-- ''[Butler pulls spoon out, looks murderous]'' Well, okay, that's more-- ''[[[DoubleSubversion Butler falls over, dead]]]'' Disappointing, really.
** In "[[Recap/AngelS05E09HarmsWay Harm's Way]]", Harmony and another vampire both grab chopsticks in a fight in the cafeteria. Harmony eventually stakes the other vamp with her chopsticks.
* ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'': Creator/DrewCarey was at one point coming to blows with someone, and took up a fork, claiming that it would be a deadly weapon in his hand, since, with it, he would "never miss." [[DontExplainTheJoke For you see, he is fat]].
* An interesting version occurs in the first episode of ''Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow'', in which the Aquabats use ''giant'' forks to battle giant ants. Why forks? Who knows? (But then, [[RuleOfCool who]] [[RuleOfFunny cares]]?)
* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E20WhatIsAndWhatShouldNeverBe "What Is And What Should Never Be" (S02, Ep20)]], Dean needs a silver knife to kill a djinn and steals one of mother's silver dinner knives.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E3RobotOfSherwood Robot of Sherwood]]", the Doctor responds to a challenge from Myth/RobinHood with the following BadassBoast:

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music Videos]]
* Music/WeirdAlYankovic parodied Music/MichaelJackson's "Beat It" (featuring two gang leaders in a knife fight) with "Eat It". The leaders were instead fighting over a chicken, and armed... well, one had a fork, the other a spoon. What's even better is that the spoon and fork are propped as ''switchblades''.

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* When the party in ''Podcast/TheFallenGods'' gets shrunk down in episode 4, the only weapons they can wield are forks and knives.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* [[Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher "The Madman from the Sudan" Abdullah the Butcher]] used a fork as his [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]] for ''decades.''
* Full Impact Pro's first champion, Wrestling/RingOfHonor and Wrestling/{{TNA}} alum [[Wrestling/NelsonErazo Homicide]] is known for going on indiscriminate rampages with forks.
* Wrestling/AJStyles once beat Wrestling/TommyDreamer in an "I Quit" match by trying to attack his eye with a fork.
* Self proclaimed Wrestling/{{CZW}} savior Matt Tremont uses a fork as his weapon of choice, specifically, a ''carving fork.''
* Madison Eagles boasted to have strategies to defeat everyone who had wrestled for SHINE and everyone who could conceivably by the time of her debut. Her "strategy" for Wrestling/AmazingKong? Use a fork!(apparently effective enough [[RunningGag to make her apply it to the whole roster]])
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' features utensils of various stripe as weapons, including "foons" (think the opposite of "spork") and a silver shrimp fork. While these generally exist to serve a trained Chef-Mage as a wand equivalent, they're entirely functional for dealing purely material damage. And while it's possible if not easy to find properly balanced throwing ''knives'', you're more likely to end up with the fork or spoon variant of that missile. (There's this club which either hires ninja as waiters or has an awful lot of ninja infiltrators among its waitstaff, so perhaps knives are too... obvious?)
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'':
** There's an escape sequence where a fork is available to the player. Attacking any normally captureable animals with it causes Snake to eat them instantly, instead of killing them normally.
** You also get an unloaded Single Action Army, which you can get ammo for the moment you step out of the prison. Though the SAA makes a loud bang and can't be silenced, making the fork almost a weapon of choice.
* ''VideoGame/FearAndHungerTermina'': If [[spoiler:Henryk ends up [[BodyHorror Moonscorched]]]], the resulting [[WickedPretentious "Gentleman"]] attacks wielding both a dining knife and fork.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', Quina's weapon of choice is a giant [[strike:fork]] ''spork''. Their special ability is "Eat," which allows them to [[PowerCopying copy enemy abilities]], and they're utterly fascinated with food.
* In ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose'', your starting weapon is a dessert fork. It's about as effective as it sounds.
* In ''VideoGame/ImprobableIsland'', four of the weapons available to new players are bits of cutlery, from the humble Spork to the half-decent Kitchen Knife.
* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' because of their tiny contact area and the way the game processes bodily damage they're a great weapon. The drawback is the're forks and therefore has the reach of a dwarfs arm. Just don't let a tantruming dwarf get his hands on one...
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]''[='s=] ''Shivering Isles'' expansion, and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' have "[[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Fork_of_Horripilation The Fork of Horripilation]]"[[note]]"Horrpilitaion" means "to have goose bumps/goose pimples/goose flesh"[[/note]]. It's a [[JokeItem pitifully weak]] weapon which drains ''your own'' Magicka when you use it. Naturally, it's involved in a quest for [[MadGod Sheogorath]], and you can trade it in for a ''much'' better weapon once you've completed it.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' includes a [[DownPlayed downplayed]] example in the form of rare, EasterEgg versions of the common fork and cutlery knife that can be picked up and used as the worst two weapons in the game. They're mostly semi-functional [[JokeItem joke weapons]] but you can enchant them to make them a bit more [[LethalJokeWeapon lethal]].
* If the two weren't in production at about the same time, one would wonder from one of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVr0ea6vWA0 unlockable cutscenes]] if the Sonic Team staff was composed of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'' fans.
* In ''VideoGame/ProWrestling'', one of the Amazon's signature moves is stabbing the opponent in the face with a fork.
* Among the great many household items you can [[ImprovisedWeapon turn into weapons]] in ''VideoGame/ProjectZomboid'' is flatware: forks, spoons, and butter knives. Since they generally break on the first use, and they can only hit within grappling range, it's pretty much suicide to bring these to a zombie fight. For stabbing, at least move up to the carving knife, but expect that to break pretty fast too.
* In ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'''s [[MultiMookMelee Salmon Run]] mode, [[MiniMook Smallfry]] wield little plastic spoons, in keeping with [[TheHorde the Salmonids]]' theming around cookware and [[LetsMeetTheMeat looking delicious]].

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''. In the Cheat Commandoes Thanksgiving special, Blue Lazer Commander uses this to differentiate between his two cronies by [[EyeScream jabbing a fork into one crony's eye]].

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'', Buck's uncle Frakkus is skilled with the [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20080228 Hoffmanite Throwing Fork.]]
-->'''Frakkus:''' Don't make me use the spoon.
* Still with Creator/PhilFoglio, ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** It is cranked up, as can be expected of Sparks, with Gil's [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081015 Hand-cranked Runcible Gun]] -- a ''gun that shoots sporks''.
** [[GeniusLoci Castle Heterodyne]]'s AxeCrazy kitchen [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080317 takes this even more seriously.]]
** Much later, Tarvek points out that giving a fork to a prisoner, even one shackled to the bed, is a bad idea, as he uses it both to pick the manacle and to threaten his goaler.
--->'''Tarvek:''' Plus, Gil wouldn't leave me shackled... and if he ''did'' -- he'd ''never'' let me have a ''fork''. So much more ''versatile'' that a knife.
* Jane Crocker of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' uses a spoon capable of [[MorphWeapon morphing into a fork]] as her [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]].
* Referenced in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' with the [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=540 Indonesian Fighting Spoon,]] which can scoop out a man's lungs in the blink of an eye. Note that while that turns out to be just another one of Faye's jokes, the Malaysian Battle Spatula IS real...
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', during the fight with the first Goo, Elliot spots a plastic fork on the ground and [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-02-03 throws it]] at the Goo like a throwing knife while [[CallingYourAttacks calling his attack]] in Japanese. It merely enters and exits the Goo with little visible effect and the Goo snickers at him before resuming its rampage.
* In ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' Tessa finds a fork while exploring {{Cyberspace}} (specifically during the [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20170429.html text adventure]]), which proves a surprisingly effective virtual weapon. [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20170505.html Relatively speaking.]]
* ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus'': [[CuteKitten Pixie]] thinks a jack-o-lantern ate Randal when she sees his tail sticking out of its mouth (not helped by [[RascallyRaccoon Randal]] deciding to prank her) and she runs away. A few minutes later, she returns with a fork to stab the pumpkin monster into submission as she demands it release Randal.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai''. Downplayed in "A Fixed Number of Paths" when Mizu says she can beat Taigen with any weapon, so they fight with chopsticks. However such is their [[TeethClenchedTeamwork mutual antagonism]] they quickly resort to beating each other up.
* At the beginning of an episode of ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002'', Prince Adam balked at learning table etiquette, leading Orko to challenge him to a flatware duel. Randor is not impressed.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Perry the Platypus and rogue [=OWCA=] agent Dennis the Rabbit briefly fought using a spatula and a barbecue fork.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Homer wins a knife fight against a mobster using a pair of table forks. Giving us the truly [[LamePunReaction groanworthy]] quote:
-->'''Creator/MarkHamill:''' H-Homer... Use the for...\\
'''Homer Simpson:''' The Force?\\
'''Mark Hamill:''' The forks! Use the ''forks''!
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' once did battle using knives from a fancy banquet table.
** The short "High Steaks" has them fencing with barbecue forks.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'' episode "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E11RecipeForDisaster Recipe for Disaster]]", Jim and Barbara has Strickler over for dinner. Jim has just found out that Strickler was working for [[BigBad Gunmar]], but he cannot confront him directly because Barbara has no idea about anything involving him being the trollhunter. [[ChaosWhileTheyreNotLooking When Barbara walks out into the kitchen]], they then fight using forks and knifes before Jim puts on his armor and Strickler takes on his true form.
