Magnetic insert heads for the fork, spoon, knife, skewer, chopstick, salad tosser, for a fully modular dining experience.

Supersonic vibration that increases penetration per pound of pressure but a factor of five hundred. No more struggling to get that obnoxious piece of food stuck, no more chasing around your plate the stubborn chunk you just can never seem to get on the first try.

A second row of prongs.

A DC current flowing through the prongs to further cook your food from the inside, giving a delicious later of char right at the core.

More prongs. Like seven of them.

more tines

put the outside ones at an angle along the axis, basically putting a raised lip on either edge of the fork, for peas

but keep the rest of the fork flat so that when you're cutting you have a flat surface to direct the cut

counterweight on the other end, centre of gravity should be 2/3 up the handle of the fork when fully-laden with a typical foodstuff

1. Spoon on the other end.
2. One side of the fork should be wider and slightly sharpened to serve as knife. A bit wider so it would have smearing function of butterknife. It doesn't need to be really sharp because you can "cut" lot of warm food with the edge of the normal fork anyway, also no one wants to cut their lips.
3. Decently balanced with comfortable grip.
4. Obviously stainless, like all silverware now, but maybe you could use some new nanotechnology to improve it. For example it could be easy to wash or if you heat it up enough in the fire or something, you can slightly bend and model it to your own needs.
