The Forged Spoon is a rough metal spoon hammered out at a forge. It can be used as an improvised one-handed weapon and trains the Short Blade skill. As a weapon it barely scratches a zombie.
Its real uses are in the kitchen and at the workbench. It mixes food in cooking, scoops ice cream and can be ground into a Shiv or an Improvised Screwdriver. The Forge 2 Spoons recipe makes a pair at any Primitive Forge or better, with no skill needed. Certain bars also hold them as loot. 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 Forged Spoon jabs quickly at a very short reach of 0.8 tiles. Each hit deals 0.1 damage. It hits one zombie per jab, and that short reach puts a zombie within grabbing distance on every attack.
The spoon has 3 condition, and nearly every hit takes a point off. It suits only a true emergency. Almost any other weapon is a better choice, and the spoon is worth more as a utensil or a Shiv.
Uses
The Forged Spoon serves as a mixing tool for batter, dough, cookies, muffins, pancakes, omelettes and gravy. It also scoops ice cream into a cone. With a whetstone or a File and some tape or binding, it becomes a Shiv or an Improvised Screwdriver at Maintenance 1.
