Is the fork hollow, forged, or stamped construction?

They are definitely not hollow. They are strong and have a mirror finish with no rough or sharp edges. I have no way of knowing if they were stamped or forged.

They appear to me to be forged. There are no 90 degree angles anywhere except at the ends of the slots for the tines. They are the best forks that I have found and I ordered a second set to enable us to use them for a larger event at home. I have 4 spoons in the same set and they are soup spoon size as opposed to teaspoon size. I have not tried the knives as yet. Perhaps the next time I have a substantial credit.

It's hollowed. I was going to write that it was solid, but decided to double check. The edges are foled back so that there is a very narrow slit in the back. If it helps, the handle is very sturdy and until I double checked, I thought the it was solid. My fingers never feel pinched when opening the cabinet.

the back of the fork, for example, says Portmeirion 18/10 and there is some design element around the edges. If I could take a picture and post here I would.If you would like me to do that, I will take the time. Just let me know.

It appears to be stamped in. Would not recommend this. Junk. Veneer started to peel off the openings to slots within weeks

There is a branded stamp at the bottom part marked MT. There are two little plaques on the top part that say the Winery and Style. One note, mine came a little lop-sided so it didn't spin properly at first.

yes, there is bolt on each end which clamps it to the fork. The bar may be removed, but the forks have a tendency to not remain pointing straight out when moving a load that is shifting.

I'm sorry that I don't know the answer. This is the only thing that is on the back of the fork: WMF CROMARGAN 18/10 Perhaps you could google that and learn more.

Has anyone bothered to check how the fork is mounted inside the wooden base? It doesn't look as sturdy as this metoal plate version.

I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece. There are grooves from rough milling around the outside of the bowl (as there were on the inside before it was seasoned), and the saw marks are clearly visible where the feet were carved out. It's obviously not some type of cast material. That is all I can say for certain, but I'd bet money it's genuine. Oh yeah, the bottoms of the feet are also polished smooth to lessen damage to countertops and things, and it shows a transition from the rough surface to the polished with no extra coating of any kind. Hopefully this is enough information for you. I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece.

The only markings I find are: US & WYOTT UNDER THE US (ON THE HANDLE). Total weight 443.7 grms, very solid & appears unissued. Far better than after market crap sold at retail chains & should last a lifetime with a little respect.

It is hollow but built very solidly. I have pulled my boat with it several times with no issue. I strongly recommend this product if an extension arm is needed.

I'm not sure what you mean by forged but it does have Waterford, 1810 China at the base of the blade.They are very nice and quite heavy.

Both sets that I got were in Indonesia. I had to return my first set because it was missing a fork. My second set was also missing a fork, but Amazon did a partial refund so I kept it. But I did read on here from another reviewer that some are made in China.

To me it is a firm. I have set low and it gives a very plush ride. It also will tighten down very well but I keep it soft to do a lot of absorption ever since I broke my hand. It's a great fork, similar to the manitou black that I have on my other bike.

The bottom is stamped: Krona; Norpro, USA; 18/10; Stainless; Inox; Rostfrei

It is stamped China. If you consider this a negative, I can assure you it is good quality metal and well made. I use mine fairly often and it works well and is holding up very well. Takes a little muscle but you have smooth mashed potatoes every time.
