Spife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spife is a tool where the blade of a knife used as the handle of the spoon, often used for cutting kiwi fruit. Its name is a portmanteau, using the words "spoon" and "knife". More commonly today, a spife is sold with a handle guard that covers the blade of the handle to prevent injury while using the utensil as a spoon. Spifes have been featured on many Food Network television shows shown being used to cut a wider variety of fruit than just the original use for cutting kiwi fruit.
[edit] In popular culture
In The Bart Book (see The Simpsons Library of Wisdom), in a diagram of Bart's school cafeteria, spifes are used as utensils, as well as sporks ("Sporks and the less popular spifes"). An early spife also appears in the 1942 children's book The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner.
