I just did a deep dive on food utensils today. I didn’t look up knives because that seems silly. But spoons are the longest reigning champion of cutlery. Followed by chopsticks and then forks. I believe the oldest found spoon was from ~17,000-15,000 BCE. While the earliest found chopsticks were from 1,700-1,200 BCE.
