The Legislature recognizes that common citizens frequently use their fork, turned sideways, to cut consumer foodstuffs when resort to employing a knife is not strictly necessary. Cutting of soft foods is common, as well as tender meats. However, some forks are manufactured with cheap metal handles that are so sharp that application of enough force to cut food threatens to cut through one's own hand before the foodstuff parts in the desired spot.
THEREFORE, be it enacted that:
No fork available for sale, lease, or use in the State of Maine may have a handle sharp enough to cut the flesh of the user's hand when employed in a lateral cutting motion.
