Among the many kinds of Improbable Weapon User, the weapon of choice for someone who devotes their life to food may be the tools everyone uses to eat with. A character who uses a common eating utensil - like a fork, a table knife, or even a spoon - to fight off their enemies may be the mark of a Supreme Chef who's been pushed a little too far, or a Lethal Chef who is as lethal outside of the kitchen as they are inside of it. It may as well be part of the fighting style of the Chef of Iron, whose armaments may also include various cutlery, the Frying Pan of Doom and even food itself. Alternately, if chaos breaks out at the dinner table, a diner may have to get creative with what they have on hand, turning their utensils into an Improvised Weapon. Normally played for laughs (especially if there's Sword Sparks), but if the chips are down, things can get pretty ugly: this can lead to sickeningly devastating effect in the hands of someone skilled/determined enough. While large forks have certainly been used as polearms - Wikipedia has an article on military forks - this trope is about characters who use dinner forks, butter knives, and the like as personal weaponry. Subtrope of Improvised Weapon. Compare Frying Pan of Doom, which is about cookware being used as a weapon. Might occur in a Fight for the Last Bite. |

Angel: In the episode "Just Rewards", Angel kills the villain's butler with a spoon. By throwing it at him so hard it lodges in his forehead. Spike is appropriately incredulous. In "Harm's Way", Harmony and another vampire both grab chopsticks in a fight in the cafeteria. Harmony eventually stakes the other vamp with her chopsticks. |

In Surf Ninjas, Adam is using his Game Gear to dictate how a series of fights inside a restaurant should go (he's psychic with it; long story). When the mysterious eye-patched Zatch is about to engage with a mook, Adam has Zatch pull out a pair of chopsticks because they're worth the most points of his options; Zatch swiftly counters the mook's attack on him with a thrust of the sticks up against his nose, then flings him over his shoulder into a folding screen. | |

While Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star doesn't use any forks, his incarnation in Fist of the Blue Sky uses a whole bunch of them to take out a bunch of evil gangsters who were viciously mistreating his sworn brother. And in the anime adaptation of the manga, he uses Kenshiro's famous Kiai for the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken ("AHHHHTATATATATATATATATATATATA!") from the previous series while he's throwing those forks. Or in the French Gag Dub, the infamous "Hokuto de cuisine". | |

Slayers, the Trope Namer. The first episode of Slayers NEXT has Gourry and Lina literally fork-fencing at super speed over the last bits of food on the table. Neither of them end up getting it, as a fight breaks out in the tavern and their table is knocked over. Lina's response? Well... This is justified two-fold: First, both of them are notorious Big Eaters. Second, the party has a tradition where the person who eats the least has to pick up the tab. | |

In Darker than Black, second season, Hei uses a knife to pin the hand of a government official to the table, preventing him from setting off a bomb. A bit squickier than you'd think, since he jams it in sideways, rather than lengthwise as you'd expect. | |

The Drew Carey Show: Drew Carey was at one point coming to blows with someone, and took up a fork, claiming that it would be a deadly weapon in his hand, since, with it, he would "never miss." For you see, he is fat. | |

At the end of The Stepsister Scheme, Tali - AKA 'Sleeping Beauty' - fights a TROLL using a knife-and-fork set. The twist being that she just grabbed that silverware off the table of a powerful member of The Fair Folk, and as such, they're magical enough to penetrate the troll's defenses. End result: The troll goes down with a table-knife in his throat. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion, and The Elder Scrolls Online have "The Fork of Horripilation"note "Horrpilitaion" means "to have goose bumps/goose pimples/goose flesh". It's a pitifully weak weapon which drains your own Magicka when you use it. Naturally, it's involved in a quest for Sheogorath, and you can trade it in for a much better weapon once you've completed it. Skyrim includes a downplayed example in the form of rare, Easter Egg versions of the common fork and cutlery knife that can be picked up and used as the worst two weapons in the game. They're mostly semi-functional joke weapons but you can enchant them to make them a bit more lethal. |

One Piece has the Straw Hat Pirates' chef, Sanji,only fighting with his legs and feet because he saves his hands for cooking. He also believes that kitchen knives should only be used on food. The one time he broke this rule was when he fought with kitchen knives, though Sanji let that slide because his opponent was wearing armor made out of ramen. You do the math. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: There's an escape sequence where a fork is available to the player. Attacking any normally captureable animals with it causes Snake to eat them instantly, instead of killing them normally. You also get an unloaded Single Action Army, which you can get ammo for the moment you step out of the prison. Though the SAA makes a loud bang and can't be silenced, making the fork almost a weapon of choice. |

Kingdom of Loathing features utensils of various stripe as weapons, including "foons" (think the opposite of "spork") and a silver shrimp fork. While these generally exist to serve a trained Chef-Mage as a wand equivalent, they're entirely functional for dealing purely material damage. And while it's possible if not easy to find properly balanced throwing knives, you're more likely to end up with the fork or spoon variant of that missile. (There's this club which either hires ninja as waiters or has an awful lot of ninja infiltrators among its waitstaff, so perhaps knives are too... obvious?) | |
