The Bone Fork is a small fork carved from bone. It is a cooking utensil that the game also lets a survivor stab with. Used as a weapon, it trains the Short Blade skill. Its damage is the lowest a weapon can have, and it has a single point of condition.
The fork matters in the kitchen, not in a fight. It mixes doughs and batters, prepares omelettes and pancakes and makes gravy. It is crafted only, carved from a Sharp Bone Fragment or reshaped from a Bone Spoon. The best occupations for short blades are the Burger Flipper, the Chef and the Doctor. Each starts with the same Short Blade skill.
Combat
The Bone Fork is a one-handed stabbing item with a very short reach. Each stab deals a tiny amount of damage, so a zombie shrugs it off. A crit adds little because the base damage is so small. At low skill the first hit on a zombie usually breaks the fork. It is a last resort only, for a survivor with nothing else in reach.
Uses
The Bone Fork works as a mixing utensil in many cooking recipes. It prepares bread dough, baguettes, pie dough, cake batter, biscuits, muffins and pizza. It mixes the dough for chocolate, chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar and shortbread cookies. It also makes gravy, guacamole, pancakes, omelettes and breaded onion rings. A camp without metal cutlery can cook a full menu with it.

Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a fork or mixingutensil accepts it as the tool, such as Make Cake Batter, Prepare Pie Dough and Prepare Bread Dough.
Repair
The Bone Fork has a maximum condition of 1. One lost point breaks it outright. The Short Blade and Maintenance skills lower the chance of that loss on each hit. Using it trains Short Blade, while Maintenance stays untouched. A broken fork is replaced by carving a new one.
Notes
- Carving the fork needs Carving 3, a sharp knife and a whetstone or a file, which are all kept.
- A Bone Spoon can be carved into a Bone Fork in place of a fresh bone fragment.
- Researching the fork can teach the Bone Fork, Wooden Fork and forged fork recipes.
- Keep it in the kitchen and away from zombies to make it last.
