Title: Can you buy fork handles (no, its not a joke!!!)
Post by: BarbaraGood on February 25, 2007, 11:38:52
If my husband had asked me to post this, I would have been wary ;D

We have a fork that is fine other than the plastic handle part at the end of the long wooden part of the handle is broekn beyond repair.

Am I wasting my time trawling shops for this?

Thanks

Someone makes and supplies them so they must be available.

Heres just one link.

thanks for that, I only need the end part, but I guess I will have to buy the whole lot!
Will keep searching :)

The last two I bought were from Homebase, so perhaps? (Just the  D shaped plastic bit, not the whole wooden shaft as well!)

Our local tip has a bin of old gardening forks and spades etc if you only want the handle might be worth a look?

Try your local market, mine always has a stall which sells them.
