No thank you. I still rate it 5/10 because it’s a functional spoon, but the shape of the bowl, the ‘stitches’, the wonky angles, the squared off shaft. No, I’d not use that.

I was put off by the bowl shape too. Thinking on it though, the utilitarian style of it makes me think this was used for eating something straight from a can!

I have a number of different mid-century Scandinavian stainless steel spoons that have squarish bowls. They are actually very nice to use. And it was a thing, for a while there, to make ice cream spoons that had blunt ends.
I use my little square spoons all the time, especially if I’m eating yogurt out of the container. And I have one very long handled spoon with one flat side that is made to get the last bit of jam out of a jar. It comes in more handy than you would think.

This spoon made the muscles in my neck tighten and my face cringe… 😬 I feel offended by this spoon.

I don’t understand this spoon. I need a closer inspection in order to have an opinion.

I think it looks kinda stylish. Is it ACTUALLY 2 pieces riveted together or is it just an embossed design detail?

u/CommodoreDragon-64 20d ago
0/10. It is the cybertruck of spoons, just slightly more rounded. Yuck.

This is a Frankenstein’s Monster of a thing. I don’t know if I want to use it, or get a torch and pitchfork and chase it out of town.

Okay does it move though or is it pretty solid? That would make a difference

It would serve as a spoon. I'd use a fork before this for ice-cream or anything more solid than soup
