Perennial camping-stuff manufacturer Light My Fire do indeed make a Knork, which is the first example that leapt to my mind. They may call it a "spork" but the fork end has a (butter-grade) knife edge machined into one side of it. As an added bonus, you get a whole entire unmolested spoon on the other end, too. Anyone who is cool enough to count would surely get the titanium version, which may just barely achieve enough rigidity to actually cut anything.
I used to have one but I lent it to somebody for a camping trip -- damned if I remember who -- and never got it back. Oh well.
The knife is barely there because it's supposed to be a convenience thing. Anything tough means the pocket knife comes out.
And almost certainly so that uncoordinated users don't slice the insides of their cheeks.
What? Heresy!
You didn't lend it to me, don't check. My fiancée found a couple of knorks in the same style, because she's long suffering. She flatly refused buying them for daily use though. Some people hate progress I swear. So I'm looking for dining table appropriate aesthetics, despite us not having a dining room table.
I use one of these to eat lunch at work without having to store/carry two utensils. I have never used the knife, but I do find the double sided spoon fork combo very useful, even if it does draw a little chiding from my coworkers.
