This is great for large functions, dinners (holidays and such) and would be very good for to go stuff. While these forks work very well for most types of cuisine, they are definitely not perfect for all types of cuisine as some of them did breakdown with meats like steak. They are great in that there is such a large number of them so you can just grab another but I’d be careful to not use these for anything too strenuous. The ones that did break lost long pieces of the fork and I had to be sure to remove it from my food. The bottom line? These are good for a lot of situations but not all.Pros:Lots in a packGreat for functionsForks are super lightThe grip is good and nonslipCons:Can break off piecesThese aren’t the least costly out thereOverall, these do serve a purpose and they do it fairly well. They aren’t break proof but there is a lot of them and they can work very well for most food activities. The value is alright and they fit a need while having an added bonus of being made of recycled material.

Somehow when I ordered these I missed that it was for a box of 1000 forks. Seriously. At a current price of $32 that is amazingly cheaper than you will buy smaller boxes locally . . . but it is a lot of forks.We are in the middle of a home remodel at home so have used a lot of plasticware until we have water again. The large package of forks was surprisingly handy as I also hosted a swim team luncheon of about 200 swimmers. These forks held up. They are a medium weight fork -- meaning they are not as heavy or solid as some higher priced forks. They aren't really able to cut food on the side like you would a metal fork or some heavier weight plastic forks, but they did the job as far as straightforward eating. I feel like the handle is a bit shorter than the brand we had been using but may not be remembering that right. One thing that is odd but useful is that there is a slight bump to the back of the handle. I found that handy for setting it down on the table or hooking it to the edge of the plate -- when carrying a plateful of food it stopped the fork from sliding into my food and getting the handle dirty.For the environmentally conscious they are made from recycled plastic.

I would say the description of medium weight is pretty good for these spoons. They're not quite as light/fragile as the ones from dollar tree for example, but they're also arent the sturdiest ones I've ever come across. They're not bad though. They seem a little short to me, compared to others, but that works out for us because it makes them good for the toddlers too. They're not unusually short, I can just tell they're a little smaller than most of the ones we buy. The edge of the actual spoon part is not super thin, so it doesnt feel like it is cutting you - if you buy plastic silverware a lot, you'll know what I mean. Some feel like theyre trying to slice you when you're eating. These aren't like that though. All in all, not bad. Plenty sturdy to get the job done and it is really nice getting them in a big bulk pack like this, rather than buying small packs. Less trips to the store and less waste, especially since they're made from 100% recycled materials.

The listing currently says forks but I got knives, and the listing pix are of knives. Just a mention in case they want to clean that up.These are working out very well. They bend left to right about oh 30 degrees before they snap, and don't shatter. The spine is thicker and gives more top to bottom rigidity that works well.It's too early for camping and BBQs so we've just been using them around the house and they held up well. The bulk of these will go to a local rescue mission that feeds everyone and does boxed meals, too. The serration is quite good, I think they'd work well in many small foodery places.Lots of potential uses for business owner or families.Don't forget to use the Smile.Amazon.com address - It's an Amazon program where many everyday things you buy will generate a small donation from Amazon to the charity of your choice.

For some odd reason, my husband and I buy a lot of plastic forks. Of course, we do take some to work with us when we bring our lunch, and I take extras for others. I was offered this set, and I was very glad to try it as we were getting low. I opened the box, and 1000 forks stared back at me; that’s a lot of forks! I tried one out, and I was very pleasantly surprised; the fork was sturdy, strong, and felt just like other plastic forks I had tried before. I really like that they are 100% recycled, and the price really isn’t a lot higher for that. This is a pretty good price for the set, and they are excellent forks. Highly recommend!
