There isn’t a best, maybe a less bad but even then it’s an impossible choice. ✋wins here.

Idk without holding them. But probably not 2 or 5

I'm very picky about kitchenware, it's like I have to listen to my inner grandma.

How can people chose without weighing them?

1 or 2 :p

2

It probably says a lot about me to be able to articulate this, but it's 100% 3 because of the way the head has a low flare leading to a high taper. The others are all way too flat or round, save for 1, but it's out because the spaces between the tines terminate too high.

And no, I don't have a reason for this, it's entirely based on how I feel about forks.

5 looking kinda shiny

2 and 3. 1 and 5 are too short, they're last resort shit

Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.

Those all look horrible, mine's better, it kinda looks like it has the head of #2 and body of #5

2 but thicker and a bit different handle.

Hello. I like rusty spoons.

You come here asking neurodivergents a question and you only give five options?

All of these options are terrible. You should feel ashamed, OP.

5, mostly because I am using those for over 2 decades now and all other feel somehow wrong.

1, but these all suck ass.

1, 4

They are all good since they are all single extruded so no food remains getting in between the metal part and the plastic/wood/other

Though, we could argue that 1. is better that the others for the easy grip due to its in-curved handle. Or that its diametrical opposite, number 5. Is the best thanks to its filleted handle making it easier to hold in the case of the food scooped by it not being very hard.

2 for salads, 4 or 5 for everything else

All are bad. If I'd have to choose, it'll be in the order 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.

5

2 is such an obvious answer

My fingies hurt just looking at them. Half of them will bend when cutting a banana, and the other half will split your skin when you try.

2. Long tines and a big "handle".
