Mine were exactly like the picture, including the bunnies, which gave me a pang of nostalgia when I found the image. I suspect you're a little bit younger than me with your new-fangled plastic

There's spikes on it for holding items still, he'd probably manage to lean on those with the palm of his hand and get something caught in the vice at the same time.
It's actually a great looking item for people with difficulties cutting stuff using 2 hands or holding stuff still to cut it - but so fucking expensive.

This teaspoon. It's from Ikea, but I didn't buy it - I must've taken it from somewhere I worked. It's nothing spectacular but I just love the shape of it and the length and the weight, it's kinda perfect.

Cheap light cutlery feels horrible in your hands. The best cutlery I’ve ever had has been purloined from large institutions. Dunno why they always seem to have decent silverware

My long handled teaspoons. Perfect for sausage fingers and great for slip-dunk retrieving.

In the kitchen at work we have teaspoons so flimsy, they bend when scooping up sugar, coffee, etc.
Made me feel like an effortless Uri Geller

Just a memo to myself ... I can only locate a couple of forks from a 4 setting set, but I think my IKEA cutlery set must be MOPSIG, 16-piece cutlery set - IKEA.
It has a pleasing modern form and I will one day have to buy a fair amount of cutlery if I am going to entertain ...

My serrated tomato knife , cuts everything cleanly razor thin
I'm really into my cake forks, but tbh I feel like my set of everyday forks - plain but heavy Sheffield stainless steel in reverse rattail - are probably my favourites. An everyday use item that feels just right is better than any occasional use item IMO
Are you Wes Anderson?
I am not. does he have a fine selection of cutlery too?
I eat cake regularly.
He has a fine selection of whimsical items, judging by his films.
I don't believe any of the pictured items are that whimsical - a fork, a fork for getting pickles out of a jar, an admittedly quite florid teaspoon (it might actually have another purpose tbh, not sure), a cake fork, a butter knife and two plain teaspoons. Where's the whimsy?

Does anyone have a least favourite?
There’s this fucking fork that is only millimetres shorter than the other ones, but if I ever accidentally grab it from the drawer, it gives me such a feeling of revulsion that I want to hurl it across the room into the bin.
Dunno why I don’t do just that actually!

We have some inherited silver cutlery stashed away somewhere that never get used as they’re so heavy. Some ancestor of mine was the skipper of a ship and had them made so they wouldn’t fall off the captain’s table in a storm. At least that’s the family story.
Yes, I have some thin, flat forks that I think came back by accident from my work.
I send them to school with the eldest because I don't care if they don't come back.

Itsu plastic sporks. They're plastic and terrible but they are goddamn perfect for eating ramen and other noodle soups. And I eat a lot of noodle soups.
My others are two tiny coffee spoons I knicked from Le Poule Au Pot because I was so outraged by the bill.
And the nice fork with the round handle.

Yep, a knife that's slightly bent at the end I'll never use it because it displeases me mightily. But I can't get rid of it or the ratio of matching knives and forks in the drawer. would be ruined.

I've got similar SAS cutlery - I "kept" my set after going on a jaunt in an "embassy" not allowed to talk about it doing a bit of work iykwim

I just wish I knew where my "good" (as in a shape I like) spoons have gone.
Used to have 4, now only have 1 and that has suffered due to being used to serve ice cream in an impatient manner.
I asked OH about the rest of the spoons once and he looked vaguely guilty so I suspect he was taking them to work to eat pot noodles for lunch and forgetting to bring them home. I wouldn't have minded if it had been the ones I don't like so much (too narrow), which we seem to have an abundance of
