I guess I imagined the blade part being serrated like a butter knife.  Sorry Binks!  I've attached a spork for comparison purposes.

I probably won't ever find the last one under the challenge today, but at least got the other .... not without a lot of goofs, though. You should see my hit rate on that one -- I won't even admit what ... closer to roberts (who really does try hard) ... :'(

Binks ... back to the splayd/splade ... if it's supposed to be a fork/spoon/blade ... how in heck could you ever eat any soup?? It looks like a very small surface for liquids. Or is it really just a fork/blade?

Also, are your splades always made of metal?  Our sporks are always (as far as I know) made of plastic...and are most generally given out at fast food restaurants

Yeah, no self-respecting person in the US would actually save a spork!

a) the splayds are virtually always metal.
b) I don't think they're given with fastfoods, but I rarely buy any!
c)Ok,ok, you wouldn't use them for soup!

They're excellent for stirfries, etc, and any meal when you want to sit somewhere other than the dining table. Just thought....I use ours at the dining table too, when eating stirfry or sloppy stuff....saves on washing up!
