Not quite your standard portmanteau: forkchops, from fork + chopsticks, but obviously modeled on porkchops. From the ThinkGeek people:
ForkChops 3-in-1 Eating Utensils are three of the most common utensils all mashed into one. You get a fork. You get a knife. You even get a pair of chopsticks! The tips of the chopsticks are even textured for better gripping!
(It comes in black polystyrene.)
You could go this one better: you could replace the fork by a spork (spoon + fork) — though multi-purpose implements tend to function less well than any of their constituents. (Sporks are not very good as spoons or as forks; their primary function is to reduce cafeteria costs.)

I have a great set of plastic eating implements: a knife, fork, and spoon that snap together at their bases. Very heavy plastic, virtually indestructible. From Tupperware.
(Yes, I got it at a Tupperware party. In Columbus OH, sponsored by local service organizations. A combination of a Tupperware party and a safe-sex demonstration aimed at gay men; it was all about sealing things up.)
