Another tidbit from the patent files:

DESIGN FOR A KNIFE-EDGED FORK,

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. Cox, of Malden, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Design for a Knife-Edged Spoon-Fork; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which—

The handle a of my improved knife-edged spoon-fork is made in the usual form for table forks or spoons, of suitable metal, and the bowl is divided into four prongs, the two middle prongs, b b, being made taper and pointed, similar to the tines or prongs of ordinary table forks, but comparatively short and not extending back as far as commonly made, so that a broad space or surface is formed behind the base of the prongs. The two outside prongs, b'b', are made very broad at the base, and the outer edges are curved in an elliptical form like the bowl of a spoon; the outer edges of the prongs b' b' are also bevelled or sharpened somewhat like the blade of a knife; thus combining in the same design the advantages of a spoon and a fork having a knife-edge on the sides.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is—

The design of a knife-edged spoon-fork, formed as herein described and shown.

ARTHUR W. COX.
