Splayd is an iconic Australian brand renowned for its innovative all-in-one eating utensil that combines the functions of a knife, fork, and spoon. The Splayd was invented in the late 1940s by Sydney-based industrial designer William McArthur. Inspired by the challenges people faced balancing multiple utensils at social gatherings, McArthur created a single-piece solution to simplify dining. The name “Splayd” is a blend of “spoon” and “blade,” reflecting its multifunctional design.​
Initially sold locally, the Splayd gained international recognition after being mass-marketed in the 1960s. By 1991, over 4.75 million Splayds had been sold across 52 countries, solidifying its status as a global dining innovation. ​
Today, Splayd continues to offer luxury utensils crafted from high-quality 18/8 stainless steel, available in various finishes and sizes. The brand remains a testament to Australian ingenuity, blending practicality with elegance in dining solutions.
