Skeleton hand serving forks for Mignolian diners

Perhaps its simply the sense of artistic frugality that daily life scrounging for kitchen utensils as a new home owner in Berlin has inured in me, but I don't see the point of spending $50 for these silver-plated skeletal serving forks when I already live right across the street from a perfectly serviceable graveyard. Heck, there's a hacksaw and can of silver spray paint right in the closet, already! YMMV, of course.

Really cool looking, but the shape is entirely useless for forks. I guess maybe an olive could be cupped quite nicely in there.

@1 I think they are for tossing salads and the like. They'd probably be good for serving pasta. Or scratching your own back.

#1 - The advertising copy on the linked page says they're for serving salads, which they look plenty fine for.
