- Slim fork, wide handle.
Damn right. I have 4 2s and 4 4s and it's a sad day when I've been too lazy to do the dishes and only have 4s left to use.

Clearly its the tines of 2 and the handle of 5. Anything else is madness.
My reasoning is quite simple. The tines on the No.2 fork are longer than the others. Long things are often associated with quality, status and refinement (Long fingers, long lashes, long legs etc.). The extra length suggest dexterity and precision.
Conversely the comparatively stubby tines of the No.1 fork would likely suit a toddler or an adult who isn't allowed near pointy things without supervision. Similarly the tines of the No.5 fork suggest that this utensil was born wanting to be a spoon but then was made into a fork at the last minute. This hypothesis is further supported by the rounded end of it's handle which would suit a spoon rather well.
Numbers 3 and 4 forks are usually, in my experience found in establishments where you help yourself to cutlery from big pots with grubby labels marked "SPOONS", "KNIVES" and "FORKS".
Now to the handles. Although the tines of the No.2 fork are pleasing, it then lets itself down with a handle that widens to the point of absurdity. Perhaps the thought was that it would help the extremely aged keep a firm grip while spooning tapioca past loose dentures.
So a cleaned up fork made from an amalgam of the refined tines of No. 2 fork and the pleasantly rounded handle of No. 5 are the only option for any adult with reasonable dexterity.

5 because the handle isn’t a fucking nightmare and won’t be distracting to eating but also I have that exact set and only use the larger ones unless I am forced to use the smaller ones. I picked the set for these reasons.

The 2nd one with the small waist and thicc ass
2 would be the closest I'd consider to being ideal. The handle kinda looks like it sucks tho.
Ideal would be the head of 2 with the handle of 5.
I like none of them
2 is such an obvious answer
I rank them in order of decreasing favorability: 3 5 4 1 2
Oh gawd no! That square handle digs into the hand when you use it. I've been there.
ADHD, don't care as long as it works.
Yup. Clean is the main thing though. I’ve forgotten my silverware for lunch and figured out some very interesting workarounds before.
Fat bottom forks you make the rockin world go round...
5 and I know this because it's the fork that lives in my room at all times because it's my favorite fork and I don't like when someone else dirties it or misplaces it. It's my desk fork. Always ready for leftovers or door dash. It's the perfect fork.

2 for salads, 4 or 5 for everything else
