| Claims 1. The four fixed tines of the 'knife-form' tool are positioned in parallel two by two, allowing a perfect fixing of the food. 2. fork-knife tines according to claim 1, are ratchet (in a hook form) in order to prevent movement or displacement of food during the cutting or fragmentation. 3. Cylindrical handle, which allows a simple and comfortable rotation of food during the cutting/fragmentation phase. 4. The handle according to claim 3, made of porous material (wood or plastic specifically for use in the kitchen) in order to be fixed simply by the user and not being able to slide. 5. The handle according to claim 4, filled inside with a high specific weight material, in order to provide sustainability to the utensil during the performance. 6. The distance between the pairs of tines varies according to the dimensions/sizes of food to be treated, in this way allowing a simple penetration of food without encountering obstacles in piercing (bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue, fiber, cores ...). 7. A smaller tine between two ratchet tines described in claim 2, only on the large size utensils, to provide a greater food support allowing an even greater sustainability. 8. Tines as in claims 2-7, designed in an extended and linear form in order to favor penetration.
