Eating utensils are tools which it should be a pleasure to use, and like all good tools their form should be natural and precise.
In these utensils, with the short handles which caused such astonishment at the time, proportions and dimensions are carefully balanced according to the funtional nature of each.
However, as the ftat end of the handle is not pressed against the hand when eating (actually eating utensils are held rather loosely), this safety measure is not as efficient as it was meant to be and both the spoon and fork have some tendency to roll between the fingers.
