In today's curved, four-pronged fork was introduced in Germany in the 18th century. Around this time established themselves on the table knife with rounded tip, since the stinging function is obsolete.

Only the 19 century, widespread use of the fork in the United States, where it is often "felhasított spoon" was called.
