This summer make sure you don't lose a fork tine in your fruit salad.

DISPOSABLE
You can slice a sirloin steak — without snapping the knife blade — with Diamond Dailyware plastic cutlery ($1.20 for 24 pieces, available at supermarkets).

REUSABLE
The tiki-style bamboo-and-stainless-steel cutlery from Aloha Summer ($8 for a set of 12, Target, 800-800-8800 for store locations) won't bend when you cut into a bratwurst.
