Solid silver implement that resembles a fork except the head extends to a horizontal position revealing another fork-like structure.

A silver folding utensil is shown against a light background. It has a long, flat handle with a rounded end on the left. Near the right end, a hinged section holds several fork tines that fold out and stack together, forming a multi-tined fork. The metal surface is smooth and reflective.
