Found in my works silverware drawer. Tempted to take it, none of my spoons even approach this level of perfection.

    No

    Stop trolling this community with your messed up spoons. We all know that is way to big for Autism.

    The perfect spoon differs for different foods

    If this is actual silver, then it’s not a perfect spoon to me. I had a magnet implanted into my right pinky finger for stimming reasons, and for me a perfect spoon must be ferromagnetic (i.e. attracted to magnets, steel).

        Here’s the BME (Body Modification Encyclopaedia) page about it (TW Blood): https://wiki.bme.com/index.php/Magnetic_implant

        It was invented by Steve Haworth and he’s trained folks across the world on implanting them. The magnets he gets made and sells on to body modders are the gold standard because they’re chamfered to be pill shaped before being encased in body safe plastic, so there are no sharp edges that can split. I got it done at a place here in Melbourne called Piercing HQ back in 2017 for AU$300, and last I checked the price hadn’t gone up.

        The coolest thing about it is that it’s not just a magnet in your body. It actually hijacks your sense of touch to provide a “magnetic sense”. It does this by basically squishing the skin between the magnet and whatever you’re holding it against. So I can tell when something is magnetic, versus ferromagnetic, I can sense electromagnetic fields, I can feel when the field around an electric motor is particularly “dirty” bc it’s a cheap brushed motor, compared to the “cleanness” of a good brushless motor.

        One really weird/uncomfy thing that happens is that a large external magnet can flip the internal one around so the poles are opposite again. It’s an incredibly weird sensation.

        Anyway, let me know if you have anymore questions <3

    When I was growing up, my parents had a set of spoons that not only looked nice, worked well, felt good in hand, etc but they also stacked perfectly in the drawer. I mean sure they were easy to knock over but they would self-align with a little pinch of the pile to line them up. The forks did it too.

    I’ve never seen a set like that again and I’ve been chasing that dragon for 35 years

      it’s just perfect? the proportions, no stupid decorative elements, smooth transitions, not too big not too small, good heft, strong but not heavy, well balanced. tbh i didn’t notice the scratches until after I posted the picture, maybe the picture highlights then more but in any case it was just the perfect spoon for me

    Need a side profile, looks can be deceiving.

    If it’s that shape but thin it would go in the bin tbh. Nothing worse than bending a spoon shoveling ice cream into my mouth.
