The Gold Fork is a table fork made of gold. It is a cooking utensil and a store of precious metal. It can also be used as a one-handed stabbing weapon that trains the Short Blade skill.
As a weapon it does almost no damage and breaks almost at once. Its value lies in the kitchen and in the gold it holds. It is a very rare find, mostly in pawnshop display cases. A blacksmith can forge a pair from a Gold Sheet. 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 Gold Fork stabs at close range, about 0.8 tiles. Each hit deals only 0.1 damage. The crit chance is 5 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage ten times. With only 1 condition, it can break on the first hit. It is a weapon of last resort.
Uses
The Gold Fork is a mixing utensil for cooking. It mixes cake batter, pie dough, bread dough and cookie dough. It also helps make biscuits, muffins, pancakes, pizza, gravy, guacamole, onion rings and omelettes. Scrapping it gives five Gold Fragments for metalworking.

Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a fork or mixingutensil accepts it as the tool, such as Scrap Small Gold Object, Make Cake Batter and Prepare Pie Dough.
Repair
The Gold Fork has only 1 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 1 chance of taking that point off, so the first damaging hit can break it. Hits with it give no Maintenance experience. Keep it out of fights and use it in the kitchen instead.
Locations
The Gold Fork is a very rare find. Pawnshop display cases give the best odds. Survivor safehouses, attics, closets, halls, living rooms, garage storage and storage units hold one only on very rare occasions.

Notes
- Forging a pair needs Blacksmithing 3, a Gold Sheet, one piece of charcoal, a ball-peen hammer, metalworking pliers and a metalworking chisel at a Simple Forge or better.
- The same recipe makes Silver Forks from a Silver Sheet.
- Reading the fork in the crafting menu can teach several fork recipes, including Carve Wooden Fork and Make Bone Fork.
- Any ordinary fork mixes food just as well, so the gold one is better scrapped for its metal.
