Author notes
It's not like I "made" any assets for this or anything. It's just an ESL that replaces forks with other forks. I don't really care.

One of the biggest hurdles to being able to CHIM yourself into full immersion in Skyrim is the inability to pick up and use any old fork or knife as a weapon. Vanilla Skyrim has weapon versions of these utensils (you can find them at the Throat of the World or Honeyside for example), but these are extremely rare - only 4% of forks/knives ingame are weapons. Thankfully, this massive oversight and frankly embarrassing blunder by Bethesda has been remedied and now all iron forks and knives are weapons*, allowing you to stab, cut, and poke your way out of any tough situation. I've also fixed the fork & knife a little to keep them consistent with other weapons; they can be tempered with an iron ingot and are now classified as daggers so they benefit from One-Handed perks and enchantments.
*Except in QASmoke or modded locations ofc; the misc utensils' base items are unchanged. The Dwarven utensils are also unchanged whatsoever. They require some messing around with their NIFs so I might add those another time
