TITLE Nestable, Stackable Cutlery ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Nestable, stackable cutlery is shown according to the teachings of the present invention in the form of spoons, forks, and knives. The cutlery includes handle portions, of generally identical construction, and food operational and engagement portions. The handle portions in the preferred embodiment have a U-shaped cross section allowing the outside surface of a first piece of cutlery to be received within the inside surface of a second piece of cutlery. The cut- lery further includes nesting and stacking lugs for support- ing the handle portion of the second piece of cutlery along its entire length on the handle portion of the first piece of cutlery. In their most preferred form, the lugs include an inverse tapered inner surface for holding onto a punch of an injection mold during fabrication. In the preferred embodiment, the food operational and engagement portions of the cutlery have unique constructions allowing the food operational and engagement portions to lie within a single overall outline, and in the most preferred form, to lie gen- erally within the outline of the bowl portion of the spoon when a spoon, a fork, and a knife are stacked and nested together.
