Take my poll please. If you prefer a sub-category of utensil (e.g., butter knife, soup spoon) please say so along with the reason for your fondness for it.
Fork!
Because tines.

Knife because what makes you think I won’t cut you?

Spoon because ice cream.

I have collected an obscure Edwardian silver pattern for years and my favorite piece is the ice cream forks. They were sporks before sporks. I use them mainly when I serve a creamed seafood or chicken dish.

The spoon. It's both the first utensil you're fed with as well as the last.

Eating: Spoon. Works as spoon and fork if you're as pathetic as I am.
Cooking: A silicone large spoon for Le Creuset. But I've recently (and far too lately) discovered the "pasta spoon" to take the pasta out of the pot, which I now use because lifting and draining pasta into a colander from a full pot of boiling water has become difficult. So tie for this category.
Preparing: My decades-old Cutco trimmer knife.

Spork, so versatile, multipurpose and rational, especially when one edge is serrated
I would love some like R4 has, those combine the above features with some Victorian/ Edwardian elegance. Most sporks are plastic and disposable

The only utensil with spittle in its name

I adore the Soup Spoon because I’m lazy.
I was jealous of visiting British friends who stacked food upon a tine-down fork with squished bread to keep things tidy. It looked logical and classy when they did it. When I tried, there was too much food and I had to chew like a cow.

I've been trying to get the coz to stop using his hands and instead use a sharp rock to smash up the hard clumps.

I get the DL joke allusion, r14, but do you suppose I eat pasta WITH or IN its cooking water? DO YOU?!
You meant to write "rinse," I think. In which case: Only idiots rinse pasta.

I only rinse with a spoon

I love salad forks because they are so dainty, but I hate sorting them from the dishwasher into the drawer. Unless I’m holding a full-size fork for comparison, I’m never completely sure which subspecies a given fork belongs to.
