Abstract
A combination-material food utensil constructed of materials having different relative hardness. The skeleton or backbone of the utensil is constructed of a hard material providing structural integrity and allowing the utensil to easily slide along the bottom of a dish such as bowl or a plate. Outside edges of the utensil and portions of its handle are constructed of a relative soft material such as Kraton or silicon and provide for comfortable contact with the inside of the mouth and gums.
