...and that is the same reason i carry a spoon with me. you never know when you're going to need it.

That's not a bad idea. Because I usually find myself in need of a spoon when I don't have one. Seriously.
And carrying a knife in your wallet won't seem at alll suspicious to the local airport security..

I don't think that that "knife" is really any sharper than just the normal edge of my credit card. And the fork will taste great with the pocket lint stuck to it.

Worst Transformer's ever... credit cards in disguise
Forkatron and Knifimus Prime.
What use is that to me and my KFC family bucket?
At least my KFC bucket doesn't transform.. no, hang on, by placing it on my head like so... it becomes a dapper hat suitable for any social soiree.
Now excuse me gents, I'm off to golf club charity ball.
Pip, pip!

That looks like something my Grandma would give to kids on Trick-or-Treat night instead of candy. Don't want to rot the teeth of our nation's youth after all. Still, interesting concept...the cutlery, not the thing about kids and teeth.

You know..I think I remember seeing something like this once before. It was called 'adaptation'.
When bashing my meal against something until it submitted itself to me didn't work, I just used my fingers and teeth. :)
Mommy always said I was the smart one.

"this is useless to me... i only use chopsticks!" <- now that made me chuckle.

this would only actually be useful to carry around is if it could also be used as a credit card. to pay for things. adding the magnetic strip to these would also enhance style aesthetic. and that way you'd never actually want to eat with them either...
