Fork



As a piece of cutlery or kitchenware, a fork is a tool consisting of a handle with several narrow tines on one end. The utensil (usually metal) is used to lift food to the mouth or to hold food in place while cooking or cutting it. Food can be lifted either by spearing it on the tines, or by holding it on top of the tines, which are often curved slightly.

Use by Naked Snake
Naked Snake procured a fork while imprisoned in Groznyj Grad, during the events of Operation Snake Eater. The fork gave him a means of catching and eating any food that he may have come across. During his escape, Snake discovered that the fork, while rudimentary, was a CQC-appropriate weapon, providing him with some limited defense until he could retrieve his gear. Though he was initially chastized by Sigint for not coping with the wilderness, he complimented Snake upon hearing of its use as a weapon.

Behind the scenes
The fork is found in the Groznyj Grad cell in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It allows Naked Snake to instantly eat any animal or plant he kills with it, eliminating the problem of having a full backpack.
