Abstract
A nesting flatware set includes a knife, a fork, and a spoon. The knife and fork each include top and bottom end portions and dovetail locking portions which interfit to frictionally lock the knife and fork together. The spoon includes a bowl, a handle, and a pair of locking shoulders at the bottom end of the handle. The top and bottom end portions of the knife and fork are angularly related, and the knife and fork are frictionally locked against the spoon by inserting their bottom ends between the locking shoulders and the handle of the spoon so that the top ends of the knife and fork resiliently bear against the bowl of the spoon.
