Formline Tinned Fish Fork

A fork made in collaboration by Wildfish Cannery and Tlingit and Athabascan designer and artist Rico "Rico Lanáat’ Worl. This fork isn’t just a tool—it’s a love letter to the tides and traditions of our home on the Alaska coast. Perfectly sized for digging into your favorite tin of smoked fish or kelp pickles, and beautifully crafted in stainless steel in the shape and lines of a formline, traditional Tlingit art form. 

Whether you're hosting a dockside snack or elevating your lunch break, this fork is here to remind you that small bites can carry big stories.
