Abstract

A utensil may include a utensil body and a handle comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion hingedly coupled to the utensil body. The first portion is movably coupled to the second portion to enable the handle to be configured into an open state and a closed state. The open state permits the utensil body to hingedly move with respect to the first portion between a first position in which the utensil body is operatively usable by a user. A second position in which the utensil body is stored within the handle, and the closed state includes the handle enclosing the utensil body.
