A fork is a blade melee weapon.
Usage

The fork can be used to mix pancakes. If a fork is in the player's inventory while eating certain foods, the fork will be used to eat. There is currently no benefit to eating with a fork.
Weapon
The fork is an emergency weapon with extremely low damage and cannot perform the instant kill jaw stab, which most one-handed blade weapons can do. It is also highly ineffective in a defensive situation, as it will never knockdown an opponent and only knock them back a very short distance.
The fork has a very short range, making it very dangerous when fighting zombies, however it does have a quick attack. It is a single-attack weapon, hitting just 1 opponent with each swing. Forks are pretty much useless in combat and should only be equipped in an emergency, or if smashing a window.
Breaking doors
It is most ineffective at bashing down doors, dealing just 1 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Chopping trees
It cannot be used to chop trees, dealing 0 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Condition
The condition of the fork is influenced by the maintenance skill. It has a maximum condition of just 3 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (1 + maintenance x 2)
Repairing
A fork cannot be repaired.
Distribution
Forks are an incredibly common household item found in kitchen countersand also stuck in zombies.
