| Cutlery Escape Aid | comment |
When being held prisoner, the natural inclination is to escape. And your chances of escape are greatly improved if you have some kind of weapon. So naturally captors are careful not to allow their prisoners access to any kind of weaponry. However, prisoners still need to be fed, and that usually involves some kind of utensil. And an eating utensil can make a handy improvised weapon. Or a useful tool for digging. Or a means of prising pins out of hinges. Cutlery Escape Aid is when a captive attempts to steal an eating utensil to use as a weapon or otherwise aid in their escape. This is one of the things a hero might attempt during a No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine scene. May be delivered by means of a Jail Bake. This is very common in Real Life. Cutlery make the most common types of "shiv", as even a plastic spork is deadly if its handle is sharpened against a wall. Compare Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing, Sinister Shiv, MacGyvering. |

Ascendance Series: In the first book, The False Prince, Sage is constantly stealing silverware, although it's not always clear whether it's to help him escape from Farthenwood, to sell once he does, or just because he can. He and Tobias both steal knives from the kitchen, which comes back in the sequel The Runaway King, when Imogen steals dozens of knives from the kitchens over the course of a week or two, and buries them for Sage to find. | |

In Going Postal, protagonist Moist von Lipwig manages to secrete a spoon in his cell, which he uses to gradually chip away at the ancient mortar around one of the blocks in the wall. He finishes on the night before he's due to be hanged, only to find a freshly mortared block right behind it, with a shiny new spoon in the gap. Lord Vetinari regards false hope as a healthy prisoner activity. | |

In the 87th Precinct novel So Long as You Both Shall Live, a kidnapped woman uses the vinegar and oil left with her salad to remove the rust and lubricate the door hinges of the room where she is being held. She then uses the fork to scrape away the rust and pop the pins out of the hinges to escape the room. However, she finds she is still trapped in the house. This novel was later adapted into an episode of Columbo. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: Elizabeth Swann sneaks a knife from the table while she's dining with Barbossa on the Black Pearl. She does end up stabbing him with it, but since he's undead this doesn't do anything to him and he even lampshades the Fridge Logic by asking what she intended on doing after killing him, seeing as how she's trapped on a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean. | |

In The Escapists 2, plastic knives, forks, and spoons can be stolen, but it takes far, far longer to chip a wall or dig a tunnel.note To be more precise, the plastic utensils break in five hits, only dealing 1% of damage. That means that you'll need 100 utensils to break just one block, chip just one wall, and dig just one hole. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: When you get captured, one of the items you get is a Fork. After you eventually escape, it serves as your main melee weapon until you can get your gear back. It can also be used for medical treatment like the standard knife, and any animals or plants you hit with it are eaten instantly. | |

Doctor Who: In "Frontier in Space", Jo uses the spoon provided by the Ogrons with her meal to tunnel under the bars of her cell. This was actually the Master's plan- letting her "escape" and attempt to summon help via a nearby transmitter... which she didn't know was only a short-range transmitter and would consequently lure the ship the Doctor was on to the planet but not any that were further away because he knew he couldn't coerce or hypnotize her into summoning the Doctor into his trap. Afterword, he has her locked in a much more secure cell, and makes sure that this time, she doesn't have a spoon. | |
