Calamete fork made for spaghetti twirling

Normally we don’t get so excited about cutlery (having long ceded authority to chopsticks), but there’s just something about the Calamete that has grabbed at us since we saw it at the Tokyo Gift Show this year. Sure, we can’t keep a different fork for every type of food, but why not for the popular ones?

The design of Calamete is based on the human hand, with a “thumb” that sticks out to make perfect twirling without needing the spoon. While it’s difficult to fill a drawer with forks only for pasta night, this is an innovation that would work perfectly in plastic form as well, especially in Japan’s convenience store RTE meals.
