An eating utensil includes a food-holding portion and a handle. The handle includes a connection portion connected to the food-holding portion, a gripping portion opposite to the connection portion and distal to the food-holding portion, an upper surface formed on the connection and gripping portions, a lower surface formed on the connection and gripping portions oppositely of the upper surface, a slot formed in the connection portion and extending through the upper and lower surfaces, and a punched-out tongue portion connected to the connection portion and curvedly and downwardly extending away from the slot. The punched-out tongue portion has a free end.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a cutlery, the method comprising: blanking a steel sheet to obtain a blank with an appearance corresponding to a desired shape of the cutlery, wherein the cutlery has head and handle portions; rolling the head portion of the blank to stretch the head portion; performing single-trimming of a combination of the stretched head portion and the handle portion; and performing single-forming of a combination of the trimmed head and handle portions.

The present invention is directed to a method of producing cutlery and a blanking tool to be used in said method of producing cutlery. In the method a sheet metal is placed on a die. The sheet metal is held fixed on the die by means of a holder. In a blanking stroke a punch cooperates with the die to form at least a part of a circumference of a cutlery blank in the sheet metal while the holder holds the sheet metal fixed on the die. Thereafter the sheet metal is released from the die. The blanking tool comprises an upper part in the form of a punch, an intermediate part in the form of a holder and a lower part in the form of a die. The blanking tool further comprises means to move the punch and the holder together as one unit towards the die during a first part of a blanking stroke for the punch. The punching tool comprises means to move the punch in relation to the holder during a second part of the blanking stroke for the punch. The holder abuts the sheet metal placed on the die during said second part of the blanking stroke for the punch.
