ABSTRACT:
An eating utensil for gripping food such as chicken drumsticks is disclosed. The utensil has a pair of jaws which are shaped and dimensioned to accommodate two of the fingers and the thumb of a user enabling it to be manually closed. The utensil has a springy, hinge which acts to open the jaws upon release of finger pressure therefrom. The jaws have pairs of opposing rows of teeth, and the rows are outwardly curved to form a gap therebetween to accommodate the shape of the food and provide more secure gripping thereof. The pairs of rows of teeth are laterally and longitudinally oriented enabling the food to be gripped from either the front or side of the utensil. The pairs of rows of teeth are also positioned laterally and longitudinally adjacent each other and separated by recessed portions of the utensil enabling the food to be gripped at two portions thereof and thus more securely and firmly held.
